Language of the Proceeding. Paragraph 11 of the Rules provides that: “(a) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, or specified otherwise in the Registration Agreement, the language of the administrative proceeding shall be the language of the Registration Agreement, subject to the authority of the Panel to determine otherwise, having regard to the circumstances of the administrative proceeding.”<\/p>\n
The language of the Registration Agreement for the disputed domain name is Chinese. The Complainant requested that the language of this administrative proceeding be English. In support of that request the Complainant contends, in substance, that neither it nor its representatives are native Chinese speakers and that translation would be burdensome, costly and would delay the proceeding; that the disputed domain name consists entirely of Latin characters and reproduces the Complainant’s BERETTA sign, with no element in Chinese; and that the Respondent, by selecting a domain name reproducing a European trademark of an Italian entity, demonstrated familiarity with a non-Chinese context.<\/p>\n
The Respondent did not comment on the language of the proceeding.<\/p>\n
Noting the aim of conducting the proceedings with due expedition, paragraph 10 of the UDRP Rules vests a panel with authority to conduct the proceedings in a manner it considers appropriate while also ensuring both that the parties are treated with equality, and that each party is given a fair opportunity to present its case. <\/span><\/span> (see <\/span>WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Select UDRP Questions <\/span>(“WIPO Overview 3.1”), section 4.5.1).<\/span><\/p>\n Having considered all the matters above, the Panel determines under paragraph 11(a) of the Rules that the language of the proceeding shall be English. <\/p>\n <\/p>",
