COMPLAINANT:<\/p>\n

The Complainant contends that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant's trademark.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its distinctive trademark \" SILVERCREST<\/span>”.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The Respondent does not have any rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The Complainant contends that the Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name and that the Respondent is not affiliated with or authorized by the Complainant in any way. The Complainant contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name, and is not related to the Complainant’s business in any way. The Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business dealings with, the Respondent.<\/p>\n

      The Complainant further affirms that the disputed domain name is used to impersonate the Complainant or at least to create the false impression of an affiliation with the Complainant, and that such conduct can never confer rights or legitimate interests on a Respondent.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. The disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        In addition, the Complainant contends that the Respondent is deliberately trying to impersonate the Complainant in an attempt to attract Internet users for commercial gain to its own website, where purported SILVERCREST-branded goods are offered.<\/p>\n

        The Complainant further affirms that the Respondent has used a privacy service to hide its identity and has provided, on its website, a non-existent physical address, and that these are evidence of bad faith.<\/p>\n
