It is one of the world's leading manufacturers of toys and consumer products and owns a portfolio of well-known trademarks used in connection with toys, dolls, children's products, entertainment content and related retail services, including the MATTEL and AMERICAN GIRL trademarks.<\/p>\n

According to the Registrar Verification, both disputed domain names are registered in the name of black horse company. The Registrar Verification contains slightly different registrant details for each disputed domain name, including the name \"jack kee\" for one of the registrations, and indicates registrant addresses in Taiwan and China, respectively.<\/p>\n
Prior to the filing of the Complaint, the disputed domain names resolved to websites reproducing the Complainant's Trademarks and imitating the layout and visual appearance of the Complainant's official websites, while offering for sale products presented as products bearing the Complainant's Trademarks. At the time of filing of the Complaint, both disputed domain names resolved to HTTP 403 error pages.<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "

The Panel is satisfied that all procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.<\/p>\n
The Complaint concerns two disputed domain names. The Complainant requested consolidation of the proceedings on the ground that both disputed domain names are under common control.<\/p>\n
The Panel notes that the disputed domain names were registered only one week apart with the same Registrar. The evidence further shows that they used the same hosting infrastructure and nameservers, followed the same naming pattern by incorporating the Complainant's Trademarks together with descriptive terms, and resolved to websites displaying highly similar layouts and offering products presented as products bearing the Complainant's Trademarks.<\/p>\n
More importantly, following the submission of the Complaint, the Registrar confirmed that both disputed domain names are registered in the name of the same organisation, black horse company, notwithstanding certain differences in the registrant details associated with each registration.<\/p>\n
In these circumstances, the Panel is satisfied that the disputed domain names are under common control. The Panel further considers that consolidation is fair and procedurally efficient and does not prejudice the Respondent.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, the Panel grants the Complainant's request for consolidation.<\/p>", "decision": "Accepted", "panelists": [ "Ivett Paulovics" ], "date_of_panel_decision": "2026-07-21 00:00:00", "informal_english_translation": "
