The Complainant<\/strong><\/p>\n The Complainant asserts that each of the elements enumerated in paragraph 4(a) of the Policy and the corresponding provisions in the Rules have been satisfied. In particular, the Complainant asserts that: <\/p>\n (1) the disputed domain name is identical to the Complainant’s trademark, since it incorporates the BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION mark in its entirety. The generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) “.sbs” does not prevent the likelihood of confusion between the disputed domain name and the Complainant and its trademark;<\/p>\n (2) the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. The Respondent is not affiliated with the Complainant, has no license or authorization to use the BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION mark, and is not commonly known by the disputed domain name. The disputed domain name resolves to an inactive page, which confirms that the Respondent has no demonstrable plan for its use. Such conduct negates any claim of legitimate interests; <\/p>\n (3) the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith. Registering the disputed domain name so obviously connected to a well-known mark without authorization is itself evidence of bad faith. Since the disputed domain name incorporates the Complainant’s BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION mark in its entirety, there is reason to believe that the Respondent registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademark. The disputed domain name resolves to an inactive page. Such conduct is clearly designed to create a misleading association with the Complainant and further reinforces the inference of deliberate targeting.<\/p>\n The Complainant requests transfer of the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n The Respondent<\/strong><\/p>\n The Respondent did not reply to the Complainant’s contentions.<\/p>",
