THE DISPUTED DOMAIN NAME IS IDENTICAL OR CONFUSINGLY SIMILAR TO A TRADEMARK OR SERVICE MARK IN WHICH THE COMPLAINANT HAS RIGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant submits that it is one of Europe's largest operators of energy networks and energy infrastructure and a provider of innovative customer solutions for approximately 48 million customers.<\/p>\n

The Complainant claims that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademarks referred to above as it reproduces the \"e.on\" trademark in its entirety, only without the dot.<\/p>\n

The gTLD .energy shall be disregarded for the purpose of the confusing similarity analysis because it only performs a technical function.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the Complainant asserts that in this specific case, the TLD leads to a higher degree of likelihood of confusion because the Complainant provides services in the energy sector.<\/p>\n

THE RESPONDENT HAS NO RIGHTS OR LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN RESPECT OF THE DISPUTED DOMAIN NAME <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n

In particular, the Respondent is not making a legitimate non-commercial or fair use of the domain name.<\/p>\n

The Complainant alleges that the Respondent uses the disputed domain to operate a fake website that impersonates the Complainant.<\/p>\n

It is well established that the use of a domain name for fraudulent activity can never confer rights or legitimate interests on a respondent.<\/p>\n

THE DISPUTED DOMAIN NAME WAS REGISTERED AND IS BEING USED IN BAD FAITH <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant claims that the disputed domain name is identical to its well-known trademark.<\/p>\n

The website at the disputed domain name impersonates the Complainant and this proves that the Respondent was aware of the Complainant and its trademarks.<\/p>\n

The disputed domain name was registered on October 15, 2025 and the Respondent concealed its identity.<\/p>\n

Based on the above, the Complainant claims the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith.<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "
