The Complainant is a French company founded in Paris in 1964 and specializes in the manufacture and trade of cosmetics, personal care products, and related services sold under the trademark NUXE.<\/p>\n
The Complainant is the owner of numerous domain names encompassing NUXE, including <nuxe.com>, registered on February 27, 1998, and used by the Complainant to promote its products under the trademark NUXE.<\/p>\n
The disputed domain names <snapnuxe.com>, <snapnuxe.app>, <snapnuxe.net>, <snapnuxe.shop>, <snapnuxe.store>, <snapnuxe.tech> and <snapnuxe.xyz> were registered on May 31, 2025. The disputed domain name <snapnuxe.com> resolves to a web page displaying only the notice “SPANUXE Get Ready! We are working on something really cool”, while the other six disputed domain names are pointed to pay-per-click pages with links also related to the Complainant’s trademark and products.<\/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": "
COMPLAINANT<\/p>\n
The Complainant contends that the disputed domain names are confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark NUXE, as they include the trademark in its entirety with the mere addition of the word “snap” and the generic Top Level Domains (“gTLDs”) “.com”, “.app”, “.net.”, “.shop”, “.store”, “.tech” and “.xyz”, which are not sufficient to escape the finding that the disputed domain names are confusingly similar to the Complainant's trademark, especially since NUXE is a coined mark derived from the combination of the words “nature” and “luxury” (in French).<\/p>\n
The Complainant asserts that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain names because the Complainant is the exclusive owner of rights on the sign NUXE and has not given any authorization to anyone to make any use of, or apply for registration of, the disputed domain names. The Complainant also states that the Respondent has no relevant trademark rights in NUXE or SNAP NUXE.<\/p>\n
The Complainant further submits that the Respondent has no legitimate interest in the disputed domain names since all of them, excluding <snapnuxe.com>, have been used in connection with pay-per-click pages promoting goods from the Complainant along with products of the Complainant’s competitors.<\/p>\n
The Complainant contends that the Respondent registered the disputed domain names in bad faith since, given the worldwide reputation and well-known character of the Complainant’s trademark NUXE, which was well established at the time of registration of the disputed domain names and was recognized also in prior UDRP decisions, and considering the first result for a Google search for “snapnuxe” shows the Complainant’s NUXE Snapchat account as first result, the Respondent could not ignore the existence of the Complainant’s earlier rights and use of the trademark NUXE.<\/p>\n
The Complainant also states that the Respondent registered the disputed domain names, which combine the Complainant’s trademark NUXE with the non-distinctive term “snap”, in order to obtain financial gain or to prevent the Complainant from reflecting its trademark in corresponding domain names.<\/p>\n
The Complainant submits that, by redirecting the disputed domain names, excluding <snapnuxe.com>, to parking pages with pay-per-click links related to both the Complainant’s trademark and to competitors of the Complainant, the Respondent has used the disputed domain names in bad faith.<\/p>\n
The Complainant also contends that the Respondent’s use of a Whois privacy protection service to anonymize the registrant information for the disputed domain names and the creation of a messaging server for all the disputed domain names, which suggests the possible use of the disputed domain names for impersonation and phishing purposes, further demonstrate the Respondent’s bad faith.<\/p>\n
