FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Under the registered trademark BID4PAPERS, the Complainant provides, among other offerings, educational services, namely, providing online writing and editing of written texts in the nature of articles, essays, memos, case studies, dissertations, literature analyses and reviews for journals, publications, online publication platforms and study purposes. The Complainant also owns the domain name <bid4papers.com> which was registered and has been in use by the Complainant since 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The disputed domain name was registered on April 17, 2025 and resolves to a website that offers custom academic essay writing services on different subjects. The Complainant has never authorized, licensed, or permitted the Respondent's use of the BID4PAPERS mark.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The Respondent's company Mowllah PLC, Company number PVT-KAUD3QM9, is duly registered under the Laws of Kenya Companies Act,2015.

COMPLAINANT<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The <bid4paper.com> domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant's BID4PAPERS trademark, merely omitting the letter \"s\" and adding the \".com\" top-level domain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name where it is not commonly known by the domain name and it is not making a bona fide offering of goods or services. Rather, it is using the trademark on its website and providing services that compete with those offered by the Complainant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The disputed domain name was registered and is used in bad faith where the Respondent had knowledge of the Complainant's trademark at the time that it registered the disputed domain name based on the reputation of the Complainant's trademark and its typosquatting of the Complainant's trademark. The Respondent's use of the disputed domain name, for a website that competes with the Complainant's academic writing services, disrupts the Complainant's business and seeks commercial gain based on a likelihood of confusion with its trademark.<\/p>", "rights": "

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": "
