The Complainant LYNRED is a French company with more than 35 years of experience and 1,000 employees, designing and manufacturing infrared detectors for military, space and commercial applications.<\/p>\n
The Complainant is the owner of the IR trademark “LYNRED” n° 1469292 and French trademark “LYNRED” n° 4524733, as well as the domain name <lynred.com>.<\/p>\n
The disputed domain name <lynrad.com> was registered on October 6, 2025, and is currently inactive.<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "

COMPLAINANT:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Complainant states that the disputed domain name <lynrad.com> is confusingly similar to its well-known and distinctive trademark LYNRED. The misspelling of the Complainant’s trademark LYNRED by changing the letter “E” with “A” is characteristic of a typosquatting practice intended to create confusing similarity between the Complainant’s trademark and the disputed domain name. The Complainant stated that previous panels have found that the slight spelling variations do not prevent a domain name from being confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark and referred to a previous panel decision.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Complainant also states that the gTLD “.com” does not change the overall impression and does not prevent the likelihood of confusion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Consequently, the Complainant asserts that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Complainant states that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name since the Respondent is not known as the disputed domain name and not identified in the WHOIS database.<\/p>\n
The Complainant also states that the Respondent is neither related to the Complainant in any way nor has any business with the Complainant. There is not any license nor authorization granted to the Respondent to use the Complainant’s trademark, or to apply for registration of the disputed domain name by the Complainant.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the Complainant also claims that the disputed domain name is a typosquatted version of the trademark LYNRED. Typosquatting is claimed to be the practice of registering a domain name in an attempt to take advantage of Internet users’ typographical errors and can evidence that a respondent lacks rights and legitimate interests in the domain name. Supporting this claim, the Complainant referred to a previous panel decision.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Complainant claims that the disputed domain name has been used in a phishing scheme. The Complainant asserts that the Respondent uses the disputed domain name to pass itself off as one of the Complainant’s employees. Using the domain name in this manner is neither a bona fide offering of goods or services nor a non-commercial or fair use.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Complainant indicates that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant's distinctive trademark LYNRED and the Complainant’s trademark LYNRED is widely known. It is claimed that given the distinctiveness of the Complainant's trademark and reputation, it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the Complainant explained that the misspelling of the trademark LYNRED was intentionally designed to be confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark and it is in bad faith, by also referring to previous panel decisions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Complainant claimed that disputed domain name has been used in a phishing attempt and the Respondent tried to pass off as the Complainant in order to receive undue payment. Therefore, the Complainant states that the Respondent used the disputed domain name in bad faith, as it is well-established that using a domain name for purposes of phishing or other fraudulent activity constitutes solid evidence of bad faith use. Supporting this claim, the Complainant referred to a previous panel decision<\/p>\n
Accordingly, the Complainant alleges that the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith.<\/p>\n
