The Complainant is an Italian company based in Sassuolo, Italy, operating in the ceramic tile industry under the MARAZZI brand. According to the Complainant, the business was founded in 1935 and is now present in more than 140 countries. MARAZZI is the surname of the founder of the company. MARAZZI GROUP S.r.l. is the Complainant’s company name, as recorded in the Italian Register of Companies. The Complainant uses the website at www.marazzi.it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The disputed domain name was registered on June 8, 2026. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the evidence in the case file, the disputed domain name resolved to a page of the GoDaddy domain marketplace, where it is offered for sale for USD 1,450, or under a “lease to own” option of USD 242 per month. <\/span><\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "

The Complainant<\/span><\/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:<\/span><\/p>\n

(1) the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark, since it contains the MARAZZI mark. The disputed domain name is moreover identical to the Complainant’s company name. The gTLD “.xyz” is a technical element and has no impact on the assessment;<\/span><\/p>\n

(2) the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. The Respondent is not an authorized dealer, agent, distributor or reseller of MARAZZI products and has not been authorized to register or use the MARAZZI trademark in a domain name. The disputed domain name is inactive and is therefore not used in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services or for a legitimate noncommercial or fair use;<\/span><\/p>\n

(3) the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith. Given the distinctiveness and reputation of the MARAZZI trademarks, it is inconceivable that the Respondent registered the disputed domain name without actual knowledge of the Complainant and its rights. MARAZZI is the surname of the founder of the company and MARAZZI GROUP is the Complainant’s company name. The disputed domain name was registered long after the Complainant acquired trademark rights in MARAZZI, including in the United States, where the Respondent is located. As to use, the disputed domain name links to an inactive website, and given the distinctiveness of the MARAZZI trademark and its direct connection with the Complainant, it is inconceivable that the disputed domain name could be used in a manner that would not infringe the Complainant’s trademark.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Complainant requests transfer of the disputed domain name.<\/span><\/p>\n
