    "factual_background": "<p>The Complainant is a global pharmaceutical company focused on delivering high-quality, patient-oriented healthcare solutions. It was incorporated in Israel on February 13, 1944. Today, the Complainant ranks among the world&rsquo;s leading producers of generic medicines, discovering, developing and delivering innovative generic and biosimilar medicines. The company operates in 57 countries and generated revenues exceeding USD16.5 billion in 2024. The company has an employee count of about 37,000.<\/p>\n<p>The Complaint states that Mexico plays a key role for the Complainant in its positioning and development in Latin America, with annual sales of USD100 and a workforce of 700 employees. From 2021-2024, the Complainant grew by an average of 25% per year in Mexico, which is significant, considering that the overall expansion of the Mexican pharmaceutical market in recent years has been between 5%-6%.<\/p>\n<p>The Complainant maintains an online presence through the domain name &lt;tevamexico.com.mx&gt;, amongst others, which was registered on June 28, 2005. The Complainant has its own podcast and an intense social media presence in Mexico.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Respondent registered the disputed domain name on July 27, 2024. At the time of filing the Complaint, the disputed domain name resolved to a webpage providing streaming content which display promotional banners for, <em>inter alia, <\/em>betting websites.<\/p>",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "<p>The Panel is not aware of any other legal proceedings which are pending or decided and which relate to the disputed domain name.<\/p>",
    "no_response_filed": "<p>The Complainant contends that the requirements of the Policy have been met and that the disputed domain name should be transferred to it.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>No administratively compliant Response has been filed.<\/p>",
    "rights": "<p>The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to a trade mark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy).<\/p>",
    "no_rights_or_legitimate_interests": "<p>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 name (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy).<\/p>",
    "bad_faith": "<p>The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy).<\/p>",
    "procedural_factors": "<p>The Panel is satisfied that all procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.<\/p>\n<p>LANGUAGE OF THE PROCEEDINGS<\/p>\n<p>The language of the registration agreement is Chinese.<\/p>\n<p>The Complainant has requested that the language of proceedings be English for a variety of reasons. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The disputed domain name consists entirely of Latin alphabet characters rather than Chinese script, and incorporates the English country name, &ldquo;Mexico&rdquo;, which shows that the Respondent is familiar with the English language;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Complainant is domiciled in Israel and represented by Swedish counsel. Neither has knowledge of the Chinese language, whereas English is widely used in international affairs; and<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To conduct the proceeding in Chinese, the Complainant would have to incur costs for translation which exceed the overall cost of this proceeding. This would impose a disproportionate burden on the Complainant and delay the proceeding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Having considered these points and the circumstances of this case, the Panel has decided that it would be fair and equitable to all parties to adopt English as the language of the proceedings. Furthermore, the Respondent did not respond on the issue of the language to the proceedings and did not object to the Complainant&rsquo;s request.<\/p>\n<p>The Panel is satisfied that all procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.<\/p>",
