The Complainant was founded in 2011 and operates one of the largest online retail stores in the United States of America focused on pet supplies and pet wellness-related services. By 2023 the Complainant was ranked number 362 in the Fortune 500 list of the world´s most important companies.<\/p>\n
The Panel recognizes the distinctive and well-known character of Complainant´s CHEWY trademark.<\/p>\n
The disputed domain name <chewysaleus.shop> was registered on July 13, 2025, <chewyfast.shop> was registered on July 17, 2025 and <chewyus.shop> was registered on July 23, 2025, years after the Complainant first registered CHEWY trademark.<\/p>\n
The disputed domain names redirect to a set of websites similar in format and appearance where Respondent is offering pet food goods and online retail services under a modify version of the CHEWY trademark.<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "
The Panel is not aware of any other legal proceedings which are pending or decided and which relate to the disputed domain names.<\/p>", "no_response_filed": "
THE COMPLAINANT <\/p>\n
The Complainant contends that the requirements of the Policy have been met and that the disputed domain name should be transferred to it.<\/p>\n
In particular, the Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to CHEWY trademark since it is reproduced in its entirety. By adding a word to CHEWY, in this case “sale”, “fast” and\/or “us” the confusing similarity is met. Furthermore, the use of the generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) <.shop> reinforces the likelihood of confusion.<\/p>\n
The Complainant also contends that that the Respondent does not meet any of the circumstances set out in paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy. Indeed, the Respondent has not been authorized to use its marks in any manner, much less as part of the disputed domain names.<\/p>\n
The disputed domain names do not reflect Respondent´s common name. Complainant’s Trademark CHEWY is fully incorporated in the Complainant’s domain name <chewy.com> and resolves to the Complainant’s primary website.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Respondent is monetizing the disputed domain names by trading on the goodwill associated with the CHEWY marks and falsely pretends to be a CHEWY branded online shop for pet-related products and services.<\/p>\n
The Complainant further contends that the Respondent does not disclose the lack of relation or affiliation with CHEWY and, therefore, the Okidata Criteria is not met in full.<\/p>\n
With regard to the third requirement, the Complainant alleges that the Respondent registration and use falls in the circumstances depicted in paragraph 4 (b)(iii) and (iv) of the Policy. The Respondent should be considered as a competitor of the Complainant who is disrupting its business in an attempt to obtain an advantage by generating confusion with CHEWY trademark to misled consumers. Besides, CHEWY is well-known and the mere registration by an unaffiliated is to be deemed as in bad faith.<\/p>\n
