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

The Complainant is a Chinese company established in 2016 and is engaged in the development, manufacture and international distribution of disposable electronic cigarette products marketed under the GEEK BAR brand.<\/p>\n

The Complainant's products are distributed internationally and the Complainant contends that the GEEK BAR trade mark has acquired substantial recognition through extensive commercial use.<\/p>\n

B<\/strong>. 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 was registered on 22 March 2025.<\/p>\n

The evidence indicates that the disputed domain name resolves to a commercial website prominently displaying the Complainant's trade mark and logo, reproducing product imagery associated with the Complainant and offering products presented as GEEK BAR products and describing itself as a trusted source for authentic GEEK BAR disposable products.  <\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "

The Panel is unaware of any other pending or decided legal proceedings in respect of the disputed domain name <geekbarvapesflavors.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 the disputed domain name wholly incorporates its GEEK BAR trade mark together with the descriptive terms \"vapes\" and \"flavors\", which reinforce rather than dispel the association with the Complainant and its products.<\/p>\n

The Complainant further submits that the generic Top-Level Domain (the \"TLD\") <.com> is irrelevant to the assessment of confusing similarity.<\/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 it has never authorised the Respondent to use its GEEK BAR trade mark, that the Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name, and that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in it.<\/p>\n

The Complainant further contends that the disputed domain name has been used for a commercial website falsely presenting itself as an authorised online retail source for the Complainant's products.<\/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 Respondent registered and has used the disputed domain name with knowledge of the Complainant's trade mark in order to attract Internet users for commercial gain by creating a likelihood of confusion as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement of the website.<\/p>\n

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

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

B<\/strong>. Respondent<\/strong><\/p>\n
