The Complainant<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant asserts that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark, JCDECAUX. It states the obvious misspelling of the Complainant’s trademark by the deletion of the letter “A” is typosquatting, intended to create confusing similarity between the Complainant’s trademark and the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n

The Complainant also asserts that <\/u><\/strong>the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name and states that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the Respondent is not identified in the WHOIS database as the disputed domain name;<\/li>\n
  2. the Respondent is not affiliated with nor authorised by JCDECAUX in any way, nor related in any way to the Complainant’s business;<\/li>\n
  3. the Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent;<\/li>\n
  4. the Respondent is not licenced nor authorised to make any use of the Complainant’s trademark or to apply for registration of the disputed domain name by the Complainant; and<\/li>\n
  5. the disputed domain name resolves to a page without any content, which confirms that Respondent has no demonstrable plan to use the disputed domain name.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Next the Complainant contends that the disputed domain name <\/em>was registered and is being used in bad faith and asserts that:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. the disputed domain name is identical to the Complainant's trademark JCDECAUX;<\/li>\n
    2. given the distinctiveness of the Complainant's trademark and reputation, the Respondent must have registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark;<\/li>\n
    3. the misspelling of the trademark JCDECAUX was intentionally designed to be confusingly similar with the Complainant’s trademark;<\/li>\n
    4. the disputed domain name resolves to a page without any content. The Complainant contends that the Respondent has not demonstrated any activity in respect of the disputed domain name, and it is not possible to conceive of any plausible actual or contemplated active use of the domain name by the Respondent that would not be illegitimate, such as by being a passing off, an infringement of consumer protection legislation, or an infringement of the Complainant’s rights under trademark law; and<\/li>\n
    5. the disputed domain name has been set up with MX records, which suggests that it may be actively used for e-mail purposes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      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
