The Ghirardelli Chocolate Company became part of the Lindt &amp; Spr&uuml;ngli Group in 1998. The Complainant states that it owns trademark registrations for GHIRARDELLI in several jurisdictions, including United States registrations dating from 1925, and that it sells Ghirardelli products through the website at &lt;ghirardelli.com&gt;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Complainant states that the disputed domain name initially resolved to a website displaying GHIRARDELLI-branded products, using a GHIRARDELLI-branded favicon and purporting to offer the products at an 80% discount. According to the Complainant, the domain name subsequently redirected visitors to &lt;abuugarcia.shop&gt; and then to &lt;8bittjdo.it.com&gt;. The Complainant describes the destination websites as displaying products associated with the ABU GARCIA and 8BITDO brands, respectively, and requesting personal and payment details during checkout.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The disputed domain name was registered on 8 August 2026.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Complainant states that it has no connection with the Respondent and has not authorised the Respondent to use the Trademark.
