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

The Complainant is a French industrial group founded in 1871 and is a global leader in energy management and industrial automation solutions. It operates internationally and reported revenues of approximately EUR 40 billion in 2025.<\/p>\n

B<\/strong>. The 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 <schnedier-electric.com> was registered on 29 April 2026. At the time of this Decision, it resolves to an inactive webpage. Nonetheless, the evidence before the Panel further demonstrates that the disputed domain name has been used in connection with a phishing scheme.<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "

The Panel is unaware of any other pending or decided legal proceedings in respect of the domain name <schnedier-electric.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 SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC.<\/p>\n

The disputed domain name reproduces the Complainant's trade mark in its entirety, save for the transposition of the letters \"d\" and \"i\" in the word \"Schneider\". The Complainant contends that this constitutes a classic example of typosquatting and does not prevent a finding of confusing similarity.<\/p>\n

The Complainant further submits that the generic Top-Level Domain (the \"TLD\") <.com> is a standard registration requirement and is to be disregarded.<\/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, has never been authorised to use the Complainant's trade mark SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC, and is not commonly known by the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n

The Complainant further submits that the disputed domain name has been used in connection with a phishing scheme impersonating one of the Complainant's employees in an attempt to obtain payments from customers. Such conduct, the Complainant contends, cannot constitute either a bona fide<\/em> offering of goods or services or 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

The Complainant relies upon the longstanding reputation of the trade mark SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC, the deliberate misspelling of that trade mark, and the Respondent's use of the disputed domain name as part of a phishing scheme.<\/p>\n

The Complainant contends that such conduct demonstrates both knowledge of the Complainant's rights and an intention to exploit those rights for fraudulent purposes.<\/p>\n

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

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