The complainant has independently developed the product HAILUO AI and officially launched it in China in April 2024. The product is based on the Complainant’s proprietary model and offers multimodal artificial intelligence capabilities, including text analysis, content generation, AI music creation, and AI video generation.<\/p>\n
Since early May 2024, HAILUO AI has been widely reported by Chinese media. In August 2024, the Complainant released its first AI high-definition video generation model, which became available for free use on the official HAILUO AI website. Prior to the registration of the disputed domain name, HAILUO AI test videos had also already been published on YouTube and attracted substantial online attention. <\/span><\/p>\n The Complainant further submits that HAILUO AI quickly achieved significant market recognition. Public reports indicate that the product’s visits increased by 867.41% in September 2024, and that monthly visits reached 11.73 million in October 2024, representing year-on-year growth of 2772.92%. In June 2025, Complainant launched its video generation model named HAILUO 02.<\/p>\n The website under the disputed domain name resolves to a website that references a HAILUO 2 AI Video Generator. <\/span><\/p>\n The disputed domain name was registered on June 18, 2025.<\/p>",

"no_response_filed": " The Complainant contends that it has satisfied each of the elements required under the Policy for a transfer of the disputed domain name. <\/span><\/p>\n The Complainant, inter alia, contends, that the disputed domain name <hailuo2.com> incorporates the Complainant’s HAILUO mark in its entirety. The addition of the numeral \"2\" to the trademark does not prevent a finding of confusing similarity. <\/span><\/p>\n The Complainant has never licensed, authorized, or otherwise permitted the Respondent to use the HAILUO or HAILUO AI marks, or any domain name corresponding to those marks. The Respondent is not, and has never been, an authorized dealer, distributor, reseller, or partner of the Complainant.<\/p>\n Prior to this targeted registration, the Complainant’s HAILUO AI and HAILUO marks had already achieved substantial global media coverage and established a massive user base. Given that the Respondent's exact incorporation of the \"HAILUO\" mark coupled with the specific version number demonstrates bad faith at the time of registration.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the Respondent’s current use of the disputed domain name establishes bad faith under paragraph 4(b)(iv) of the Policy since the disputed domain name resolves to a website that meticulously clones the Complainant's official site, prominently featuring the Complainant's registered HAILUO logos, proprietary product videos, and official imagery. <\/span><\/p>\n No administratively compliant Response has been filed.<\/p>",
