As the Respondent did not file any response to the complaint, the Panel took into account the following facts asserted by the Complainant (and supported by the documentary evidence submitted by the Complainant) and unchallenged by the Respondent:<\/span><\/p>\n

(a) found in 1994, the Complainant is the leading property developer in France. The Complainant has developed a unique real estate skills and development platform covering all classes of real estate assets (residential, retail, offices, logistics, hotels, serviced residences, etc.);<\/span><\/p>\n

(b) t<\/span>he Complainant is the owner of the Complainant's Trademark;<\/p>\n

(c) the Complainant also owns several domain names including the trademark ALTA, such as the domain name <altarea.com> registered and used for its official website since 31 March 1999; and<\/p>\n

(d) the disputed domain name was registered on 17 October 2025 and redirects to a parking page. Besides, it has been used in a phishing scheme.<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "

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": "

COMPLAINANT:<\/span>

In addition to the above factual assertions, the Complainant also contends the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

(a) <\/span>the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant's Trademark as the addition of the term “GROUPE” is not sufficient to escape the finding of such confusing similarity. It does not change the overall impression of the designation as being connected to the Complainant’s Trademark. It does not prevent the likelihood of confusion between the disputed domain name and the Complainant and its trademarks. On the contrary, the addition of the term “GROUPE” to the term “ALTA” worsens the likelihood of confusion and cannot be coincidental, as it directly refers to the Complainant’s holding company ALTAGROUPE;<\/p>\n

(b) the Respondent identifies itself as Matthieu Taravella, who is one of the executives of ALTAGROUPE. Besides, the Respondent uses the Complainant's and its related company's ALTAGROUPE postal address \"87 rue de Richelieu Paris\". Consequently, the Respondent asserts that the Respondent has registered the domain name with this information in order to legitimize the registration and worsen the likelihood of confusion. The Respondent is not identified by the disputed domain name. The Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent. The Respondent is not known by the Complainant. The Complainant contends that Respondent is not affiliated with nor authorized by the Complainant in any way. Neither license nor authorization has been granted to the Respondent to make any use of the Complainant’s Trademark or apply for registration of the disputed domain name by the Complainant. As a result, the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name; and<\/p>\n

(c) given the above circumstances and distinctiveness of the Complainant's Trademark and reputation, it is reasonable to infer that the Respondent has registered the domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's Trademark. The disputed domain name points to a parking page and has been used in a phishing scheme as the Respondent uses an e-mail address associated with the domain name to attempt to pass itself off as an employee of the Complainant’s holding company ALTAGROUPE for financial gain. Such use of the disputed domain name demonstrates bad faith of the Respondent.
