    "factual_background": "<p>The Complainant, Mokveza Ltd. from Cyprus, is the owner of 1XBET trademarks, i.e. the brand of the well-known online gaming platform which was founded in 2007 and offers sports betting, lottery, bingo, live betting, etc., licensed by the government of Curacao. Now it has become one of the world's leading betting companies. It also operates a website under the domain name &lt;1xbet.com&gt;, which includes the Complainant's 1XBET trademark.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>T<\/span><span>he disputed domain name was registered on May 25, 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The disputed domain name &lt;1xbetportugal.com&gt; falsely suggests affiliation with the Complainant&rsquo;s 1XBET trademarks.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The infringing website mimics 1XBET&rsquo;s branding, creating consumer confusion and misappropriating trademarks. Such unauthorized use shows no legitimate interest and violates established UDRP jurisprudence.<\/span><\/p>",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "<p>The Panel is not aware of any other legal proceedings which are pending or decided and which relate to the disputed domain name.<\/p>",
    "no_response_filed": "<p>The Complainant contends that the requirements of the Policy have been met and that the disputed domain name should be transferred to it. <br \/>No administratively compliant Response has been filed.<\/p>",
    "rights": "<p>The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy).<\/p>",
    "no_rights_or_legitimate_interests": "<p>The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Respondent to have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy).<\/p>",
    "bad_faith": "<p>The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy).<\/p>",
    "procedural_factors": "<p>The Complainant filed the Complaint in English rather than in Russian (i.e. the language of the registration agreement). Pursuant to paragraph 11(a) of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, or otherwise specified in the Registration Agreement, the language of the administrative proceeding shall be the language of the Registration Agreement, subject to the authority of the Panel to determine otherwise, having regard to the circumstances of the administrative proceeding. Paragraphs 10(b) and (c) of the Rules require the Panel to ensure that the proceeding takes place with due expedition and that the parties are treated fairly and given a fair opportunity to present their respective cases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Complainant filed its Complaint in English and then requested that English be the language of the proceeding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Complainant noted the following factors supporting English as the fair language of the proceeding: the website of the Respondent targets the EU users with Portuguese content, EUR bonuses, and international payment methods; the disputed domain name uses Latin script and English terms, supporting English-language proceedings; requiring Russian translations would cause unfair costs and delays; English ensures fairness and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Panel agrees with the factors presented by the Complainant and also admits additional important factors in favour of the Complainant&rsquo;s option of English language for this proceeding: (a) the domain name &lt;.com&gt; is a generic top-level domain in the Domain Name System of the Internet, its name is derived from the English term &ldquo;commercial&rdquo;, indicating its intended use by commercial entities world-wide; (b) the translation of the Complaint into Russian would also cause additional expense and delay, making it unfair to proceed in Russian; (c) English is the primary language for business and international relations; (d) the Respondent has been given the opportunity to present its case in this proceeding and to respond formally to the issue of the language of the proceeding (the written notice from CAC was sent to the Respondent both in English and Russian languages); (e) the Respondent has not responded to the Complainant&rsquo;s request for a change of the language from Russian to English.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering the above circumstances, the Panel finds that the choice of English as the language of the present proceeding is fair to both parties and is not prejudicial to either one of the parties in his or her ability to articulate the arguments for this case.<\/p>\n<p>The Panel has also taken into consideration the fact that insisting the Complaint and all supporting documents to be re-filed in Russian would cause an unnecessary burden of cost to the Complainant and would unnecessarily delay the proceeding which would be contrary to Paragraphs 10(b) and (c) of the Rules.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having considered all the above matters, the Panel determines under paragraph 11(a) of the Rules that (i) it will accept the Complaint and all supporting materials as filed in English; and (ii) English will be the language of the proceeding and the decision will be rendered in English.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>In view of all of the above, the Panel is satisfied that all procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.<\/strong><\/p>",
