COMPLAINANT:<\/p>\n
The Complainant argues that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to their Trademark. They claim that adding the term \"GRP\" (short for \"GROUP\") does not change the overall impression and is not sufficient to avoid the likelihood of confusion. They also state that the top-level domain \".com\" does not prevent confusion.<\/p>\n
The Complainant also asserts that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name. The Complainant asserts that the Respondent is not identified in the Whois database as the disputed domain name and therefore not commonly known by a disputed domain name, that the Respondent is not affiliated with nor authorized by the Complainant in any way, that no license or authorization has been granted to the Respondent to make any use of the Trademark or apply for registration of the disputed domain name by the Complainant, and that the Respondent's use of the disputed domain name in connection with a parking page containing commercial links is neither a bona fide<\/em> offering of goods or services nor a legitimate non-commercial or fair use.<\/p>\n Regarding bad faith, the Complainant states that the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith. They point out that previous panels have held that the Trademark is well known and argue<\/span> that it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Trademark. With regard to bad faith use, the Complainant states that the Respondent has attempted to attract Internet users to its own website for commercial gain thanks to the Complainant’s trademarks, which is an evidence of bad faith. Finally, the Complainant states that MX servers are configured, suggesting that the disputed domain name may be actively used for email purposes.<\/p>\n RESPONDENT:<\/p>\n No administratively compliant Response has been filed.<\/p>",
