THE COMPLAINANT <\/p>\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
The Complainant alleges that the Respondent incorporated the PAYPAL mark in its entirety as the distinctive and dominant element of the disputed domain name. Indeed, says the Complainant, by adding a descriptive term, eg. “coinc”, the confusion between the disputed domain name and the registered mark increases.<\/p>\n
The Complainant supports a finding that the Respondent does not have any rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name as set up in Paragraph 4(c) of the Policy. That it is to say, the Respondent has not been commonly known by the domain name, the previous use of the former active website was part of a phishing and\/or spam campaign targeting the Complainant and its customers and, nothing in this dispute suggests that the Respondent is making a legitimate non-commercial or fair use of the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n
With regard the third element, the Complainant contends that the Respondent had knowledge of its PAYPAL trademark and that the disputed domain name was registered to target Complainant’s Registered trademarks. Further, the passive holding doctrine applies in this case.<\/p>\n
