A<\/strong>. Complainant<\/strong>'s Assertions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant is the Conseil Départemental de la Vienne and has been involved in the development of the Futuroscope park since 1986. The park is a well-established leisure destination in France, now complemented by the Aquascope water park and attracting significant visitor numbers.<\/p>\n

B<\/strong>. Respondent<\/strong>'s Position<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Respondent did not file a Response.   <\/p>\n

C<\/strong>. Disputed Domain Name<\/strong><\/p>\n

The disputed domain name <futuroscope-fr.com> was registered on 23 March 2026 and resolves to a website which appears to provide information relating to the Complainant's parks (the \"Respondent's website\").<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "

The Panel is unaware of any other pending or decided legal proceedings in respect of the domain name <futuroscope-fr.com> (the \"disputed domain name\").<\/p>", "no_response_filed": "

A<\/strong>. Complainant<\/strong><\/p>\n

A<\/strong>.1 The disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trade mark in which the Complainant has rights<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant submits that it owns long-standing registered rights in the trade mark FUTUROSCOPE and that the disputed domain name reproduces that trade mark in its entirety.<\/p>\n

The Complainant argues that the addition of the element \"-fr\", a geographic reference, does not prevent a finding of confusing similarity. Nor does the inclusion of the Top-Level Domain (the \"TLD\") <.com>, which is a standard registration requirement. The disputed domain name remains likely to be perceived as referring to the Complainant.  <\/p>\n

A<\/strong>.2 <\/strong>The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant submits that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n

It states that the Respondent is not affiliated with the Complainant in any way, has not been authorised to use the trade mark FUTUROSCOPE, and is not commonly known by the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n

The Complainant further submits that the disputed domain name resolves to a website displaying information relating to the Futuroscope and Aquascope parks, without identifying the operator or including any disclaimer. It contends that such use creates a misleading impression of affiliation.<\/p>\n

The Complainant therefore submits that the Respondent is not making a bona fide<\/em> offering of goods or services, nor any legitimate non-commercial or fair use.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>.3 <\/strong>The disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant submits that the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith.<\/p>\n

It relies on the long-standing use and reputation of the trade mark FUTUROSCOPE and contends that the Respondent must have been aware of its rights at the time of registration.<\/p>\n

The Complainant further submits that the disputed domain name resolves to a website referring directly to its parks, which demonstrates knowledge of the Complainant's activities.<\/p>\n

It contends that the Respondent is using the disputed domain name to attract Internet users by creating a likelihood of confusion as to the source, affiliation or endorsement of the website, and to derive an advantage from the reputation of the Complainant's trade mark.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>.4 Relief Sought <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant requests that the disputed domain name < futuroscope-fr.com<\/span>> be transferred to it in accordance with paragraph 4(i) of the UDRP Policy.<\/p>\n

B<\/strong>. Respondent<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown that the disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trade mark in which the Complainant has rights (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(i) of the UDRP Policy).<\/p>", "no_rights_or_legitimate_interests": "
