The Complainant, Palumbo Superyachts S.r.l., is part of the Palumbo Group, an Italian group active in the design, construction, refit, repair and maintenance of yachts and superyachts.<\/p>\n

The Complainant operates, inter alia, under the ISA Yachts trademark from Ancona, Italy. The ISA Yachts brand originates from the expression \"International Shipyards Ancona\" and has been used in the superyacht sector since 2001. The ISA Yachts brand is associated with the construction of luxury yachts and superyachts in Ancona, Italy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Respondent is Mr. Giancarlo Iurisci, an individual residing in Italy. According to the information provided in the Response, Mr. Iurisci acts as the owner and authorized representative of an entity referred to as \"IURISCI SHIPYARD ABRUZZO ISA SUPER YACHT\", allegedly engaged in shipbuilding activities and located in Ortona, Italy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Panel notes that no evidence has been provided demonstrating that such an entity is registered in the Italian Companies Register. Furthermore, based on the record available in this proceeding, no trademark rights for \"ISA\", \"ISA SUPER YACHT\", or \"IURISCI SHIPYARD ABRUZZO ISA SUPER YACHT\" have been shown to be owned by the Respondent or by the alleged entity.<\/p>\n

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": "

A. The Complainant<\/h3>\n

The Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its ISA and ISA YACHTS trademarks, in which it has established rights through numerous trademark registrations and longstanding use in the superyacht industry.<\/p>\n

The Complainant submits that the disputed domain name incorporates its ISA trademark in its entirety and merely adds the descriptive term “superyachts”, which directly relates to the Complainant’s field of activity and reinforces the impression of an association with the Complainant and its ISA YACHTS brand.<\/p>\n

The Complainant further argues that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. According to the Complainant, the Respondent is not affiliated with the Complainant, has not been authorized to use the Complainant’s trademarks, and is not commonly known by the disputed domain name. The Complainant also submits that no evidence has been provided demonstrating trademark rights or corporate registration corresponding to the name allegedly used by the Respondent.<\/p>\n

The Complainant contends that the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith. In particular, the Complainant argues that the Respondent was necessarily aware of the Complainant and its ISA and ISA YACHTS trademarks at the time of registration of the disputed domain name, given the parties’ presence in the same specialized shipbuilding sector in Italy and the reputation acquired by the ISA YACHTS brand. The Complainant submits that the composition of the disputed domain name creates a risk of implied affiliation and was intended to take unfair advantage of the Complainant’s trademark rights.<\/p>\n

The Complainant requests the transfer of the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n

B. The Respondent<\/h3>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Respondent contends that he is the owner and authorized representative of a shipbuilding business referred to as “IURISCI SHIPYARD ABRUZZO ISA SUPER YACHT”, based in Ortona, Italy.<\/p>\n

The Respondent submits that the term “ISA” contained in the disputed domain name is not a reference to the Complainant’s trademarks but rather an acronym derived from the name of his business, namely “IURISCI SHIPYARD ABRUZZO”.<\/p>\n

The Respondent argues that the disputed domain name was registered in connection with his own shipbuilding activities and not with the intention of targeting the Complainant or its trademarks.<\/p>\n

The Respondent therefore maintains that he has rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name and denies that the disputed domain name was registered or used in bad faith.<\/p>\n

The Respondent requests that the Complaint be denied.<\/p>", "rights": "

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

The Complainant has, to the satisfaction of the Panel, shown the Respondent to have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name (within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy).<\/p>", "bad_faith": "
