The Complainant<\/strong> in this administrative proceeding is CIBOMAT, a French company. The Complainant is a subsidiary of COMPAGNIE DE SAINT-GOBAIN, a French multinational corporation specializing in the production, processing, and distribution of materials for the construction and industrial markets. COMPAGNIE DE SAINT-GOBAIN is a global leader in sustainable construction, reporting a turnover of approximately 46.5 billion euros in 2025 and employing more than 162,000 individuals.<\/p>\n

The Complainant is specialized in the trade of building materials and equipment, particularly wood-related products for home improvement.<\/p>\n

The disputed domain name<\/strong> <cibomat.com> was registered on 26 February 2026 and is held by the Respondent.<\/p>\n

The disputed domain name website<\/strong> (i.e. website available under internet address containing the disputed domain name) is currently inactive and does not resolve to any active website. However, as proven by the Complainant, the disputed domain name website at least for some time resolved to an imitative website offering wood pellets for home equipment, directly competing with those sold by Complainant.<\/p>\n

This disputed domain name website also displayed the Complainant’s actual physical address and legal mentions.  <\/p>\n

The Complainant seeks the transfer of the disputed domain name to the Complainant.<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "

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": "

COMPLAINANT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A) CONFUSING SIMILARITY<\/p>\n

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

The disputed domain name <cibomat.com> is identical to the Complainant’s trademark, as the mark is contained within the domain name without any additions or deletions.<\/p>\n

TLDs (including “.com”) are disregarded when assessing identity or confusing similarity, as they are standard registration elements.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

B) NO RIGHTS OR LEGITIMATE INTERESTS<\/p>\n

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

Respondent has no authorization from Complainant to use Complainant’s Trademark in any way, including in any domain name.<\/p>\n

The disputed domain name does not correspond to the Respondent’s name and offers no basis for a legitimate interest.<\/p>\n

The disputed domain name resolves to an imitative website offering wood pellets (i.e. competing products, trading on Complainant’s goodwill to mislead users. Such use is not a bona fide offering of goods or services, nor legitimate non-commercial or fair use.<\/p>\n

The disputed domain name website uses the Complainant's actual physical address and legal mentions to create a likelihood of confusion. The Complainant contends that resolving a confusingly similar domain to a competing webpage does not constitute a bona fide<\/em> offering of goods or services.<\/p>\n

Once Complainant makes a prima facie showing of no rights or legitimate interests, the burden shifts to Respondent; Respondent has provided no evidence to the contrary.<\/p>\n

The Respondent therefore has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

C) BAD FAITH REGISTRATION AND USE<\/p>\n

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

The disputed domain resolves to a competing, imitative website using Complainant’s Trademark without authorization.<\/p>\n

There is no evidence of any bona fide, legitimate, or fair use of the disputed domain name by Respondent.<\/p>\n

The Respondent registered the domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant’s CIBOMAT Trademark, given the mark's distinctiveness<\/p>\n

Respondent is using the domain name to intentionally divert Internet users searching for the Complainant’s official website to a competing website.<\/p>\n

By displaying the Complainant’s legal information and offering competing products (wood pellets), the Respondent is attempting to create a likelihood of confusion for commercial gain.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, the Complainant concludes that the domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith.<\/p>\n
