A<\/strong>. Complainant<\/strong>'s Assertions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant, based in Egham, Surrey, United Kingdom, forms part of the Belron Group, a global leader in vehicle-glass repair and replacement operating across approximately forty countries and employing around 30,000 people.<\/p>\n

The SPEEDY marks have been used in Canada for over seventy years, building a substantial reputation and goodwill. SPEEDY GLASS is a nationally recognised brand, with around 200 service centres serving more than 150,000 customers annually.<\/p>\n

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, AUTOGLASS is the market leader, assisting over one million motorists each year. The Complainant also operates the official websites www.autoglass.co.uk<\/a>, www.autoglass.ie<\/a>, both registered in 1996, and www.speedyglass.ca<\/a>, registered in 2000.<\/p>\n

B<\/strong>. Respondent<\/strong>'s Position<\/strong><\/p>\n

No Response was filed.<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "

The Panel is unaware of any other pending or decided legal proceedings in respect of the domain names <speedy-mobile.com>, <mobile-autoglass.com>, and <xautoglass.com> (collectively, 'the Disputed Domain Names').<\/span><\/p>", "no_response_filed": "

A<\/strong>. Complainant<\/strong><\/p>\n

A<\/strong>.1 Consolidation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant requests consolidation of claims concerning the Disputed Domain Names into a single proceeding. The registrar's verification response confirms a common registrant – Toronto Auto Glass \/ Anthony McDowall<\/em><\/strong> – and the Disputed Domain Names share similar content, technical configuration, and timing of registration.<\/p>\n

The Complainant submits that consolidation is appropriate under the UDRP Policy to ensure procedural efficiency and fairness.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>.2 Substantive Grounds<\/strong><\/p>\n

A<\/strong>.2<\/strong>.1 The Disputed Domain Names are identical or confusingly similar to a trade mark in which the Complainant has rights<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each Disputed Domain Name whole reproduces a registered trade mark of the Complainant with only non-distinctive additions:<\/p>\n

• <speedy-mobile.com<\/a>> incorporates the SPEEDY mark with the addition of 'mobile';<\/p>\n

• <mobile-autoglass.com<\/a>> incorporates the AUTOGLASS mark with 'mobile'; and<\/p>\n

• <xautoglass.com<\/a>> incorporates the AUTOGLASS mark with a single letter 'x'.

The Complainant submits that these additions do not prevent a finding of confusing similarity. Under established UDRP principles (WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions, Third Edition ('the WIPO Jurisprudential Overview 3.0'), section 1.7), where a trade mark remains recognisable within a domain name, confusing similarity exists. The generic Top-Level Domain ('the TLD') <.com> should be disregarded in this assessment.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>.2<\/strong>.2 The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Disputed Domain Names<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Respondent has no relationship with, nor authorisation from, the Complainant to use its marks. The associated websites reproduce the Complainant's marks and imagery, purport to offer identical services in Canada, and provide inconsistent or implausible contact details.<\/p>\n

The Complainant contends that such use cannot amount to a bona fide<\/em> offering of goods or services, nor any fair or non-commercial use. The Respondent has failed to participate in this proceeding or present evidence to the contrary.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>.2<\/strong>.3 The Respondent registered and is using the Disputed Domain Names in bad faith<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant's marks long predate the registration of the Disputed Domain Names and are well known in Canada, the Respondent's apparent jurisdiction. The Complainant asserts that the Disputed Domain Names have been used to promote identical services, prominently displaying its marks, and therefore show intent to mislead for commercial gain.  <\/p>\n

The Complainant also relies on three prior UDRP decisions concerning its marks – Beltron International Limited v Md. Rashidul Islam<\/em> (CAC Case No. 106938); Belron International Limited v Rudranth McDowall<\/em> (CAC Case No. 107563); and Belron International Limited v DNS Admin<\/span><\/em> (CAC Case No. 106258) – to demonstrate a broader <\/span>pattern of abusive registrations targeting the Complainant's trade marks. The case Belron International Limited v Rudranth McDowall <\/em>(CAC Case No. 107563) is said to be particularly relevant, as the domain name <speedy-mobile-auto-glass.com> in that dispute shared factual and technical features with the present registrations.<\/p>\n

The Complainant notes that the current registrant, Anthony McDowall, shares the same surname and postal code as the prior registrant, Rudranth McDowall. While unverified, these similarities suggest possible common control or coordination.  <\/p>\n

A<\/strong>.2<\/strong>.4 Relief sought<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant seeks the transfer of the Disputed Domain Names. <\/p>\n

B<\/strong>. Respondent<\/strong><\/p>\n

No Response was filed. The Panel proceeds on the unchallenged evidence before it.<\/p>", "rights": "

The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Disputed Domain Names are identical or confusingly similar to a trade mark in which the Complainant has rights (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(i) of the UDRP Policy).<\/p>", "no_rights_or_legitimate_interests": "

The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Respondent to have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Disputed Domain Names (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the UDRP Policy).<\/p>", "bad_faith": "

The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Disputed Domain Names have been registered and are being used in bad faith (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the UDRP Policy).<\/p>", "procedural_factors": "

1<\/strong>. Consolidation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Panel has considered the record, the UDRP Rules, and paragraph 4.11.2 of the WIPO Jurisprudential Overview 3.0.<\/p>\n

Under Rules 10(b) and 10(c) of the UDRP Rules, the Panel must balance procedural efficiency with equality of treatment and fairness to all parties.<\/p>\n

All Disputed Domain Names were registered within close temporal proximity, share the same registrant, registrar, employ the same TLD <.com>, and display consistent website design and content. On that basis, the Panel concludes that the Disputed Domain Names are under common control and grants the Complainant's request for consolidation.<\/p>\n

2<\/strong>. Procedural compliance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Panel finds that all procedural requirements under the UDRP Policy, UDRP Rules, and CAC's UDRP Supplemental Rules, have been satisfied. The matter is properly before the Panel.<\/p>", "decision": "Accepted", "panelists": [ "Gustavo Moser (Presiding Panelist)" ], "date_of_panel_decision": "2025-11-28 00:00:00", "informal_english_translation": "
