    "factual_background": "<p>The Complainant is an Italian sport equipment manufacturer which was established in 1963. The Complainant acquired Nordica in 2002, making the Complainant one of the world&rsquo;s leading producers of ski boots. The following year, the Complainant broadened its product portfolio by acquiring inline skating manufacturer Rollerblade, and in 2006 it acquired Austrian ski manufacturer Blizzard. The Complainant has five subsidiaries and five direct agencies, which distribute products in 80 countries, and has a team of 4,000 employees working in 12 countries across Europe, North America, and Asia.<\/p>\n<p>The disputed domain name &lt;tecnicagroupusa.com&gt; was registered by the Respondent Technica group USA on August 18, 2025 and the disputed domain name &lt;tecnicagroupus.com&gt; was registered by Respondent Northwest Insurance Group on August 29, 2025. The Complainant's allegation that both disputed domain names host mailboxes that were used for the purpose of impersonating the Complainant by using the Complainant&rsquo;s trademarks TECNICA GROUP and TECNICA in the content of phishing e-mails which were sent to unsuspecting recipients remained undisputed. When the Complainant discovered the Respondents' phishing activities, it sent two cease-and-desist letters to the Respondents on September 11, 2025, to which they did not respond.<\/p>",
