The Complainant is a Chinese manufacturer and producer of electronic cigarettes with substantial market presence in Russia, the United States, the Middle East, and Europe.<\/p>\n

COMPLAINANT<\/strong><\/p>\n

A. THE DISPUTED DOMAIN NAME IS IDENTICAL OR CONFUSINGLY SIMILAR<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant states that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark GEEK BAR, with the mark reproduced in its entirety, combined with the generic term \"vapes.\"<\/span><\/p>\n

It does not change the overall impression of the designation as being connected to the Complainant’s trademark GEEK BAR. It does not prevent the likelihood of confusion between the disputed domain name and the Complainant, its trademark and the domain names associated.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Complainant contends that the addition of the gTLD “.STORE” 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, its trademark and its domain names associated.<\/p>\n

B. RESPONDENT HAS NO RIGHTS OR LEGITIMATE INTEREST IN RESPECT OF THE DISPUTED DOMAIN NAME<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant asserts that it has never licensed, authorized, or otherwise permitted the Respondent to use the GEEK BAR trademark in any capacity. No distribution agreement, reseller arrangement, or commercial relationship of any kind exists between the Parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further the Complainant submits that the Respondent is not known by the disputed domain name and owns no trademark in the terms GEEK BAR.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the use of the disputed domain name in connection with an active page seemingly impersonating the Complainant is not a bona fide offering of goods or services under the Policy.<\/p>\n

Thus, in accordance with the foregoing, the Complainant contends that the Respondent has no right or legitimate interest in respect of the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n

C. THE DISPUTED DOMAIN NAME WAS REGISTERED AND IS BEING USED IN BAD FAITH<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its distinctive trademark GEEK BAR. The Complainant’s trademark GEEK BAR enjoys substantial recognition across the disposable vape market and the Respondent’s choice of domain name could not have been coincidental.<\/p>\n

The disputed domain name is linked to a website that repeatedly and explicitly proclaims its products \"GENUINE,\" \"Authentic,\" and backed by \"official verification codes for authenticity,\" that claims to source \"directly from authorized distributors.\" The Complainant submits that the Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to its website by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of the website and the products offered through it, and has gone further still by expressly and falsely claiming that very authorization in the website's own text.<\/p>\n

Thus, Complainant contends that Respondent has registered the disputed domain name and is using it in bad faith.<\/p>\n
