The website displayed a red logo resembling the Complainant's corporate branding, referred to the address of the Complainant's headquarters at Br&uuml;sseler Platz 1, 45131 Essen, Germany, and advertised energy solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Following an abuse report submitted by the Complainant, the hosting provider suspended the website.

The omission of the dot does not materially affect the recognisability of the trademark, while the addition of the geographical term \"deutschland\" does not prevent a finding of confusing similarity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Complainant further submits that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. According to the Complainant, the Respondent used the disputed domain name to operate a fraudulent website impersonating the Complainant by reproducing its corporate branding, using the address of its headquarters and presenting itself as an entity belonging to the Complainant's group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Finally, the Complainant submits that the disputed domain name was registered and used in bad faith. The Complainant relies in particular on the reputation of its E.ON trademark, the composition of the disputed domain name, the misleading content of the associated website and the Respondent's concealment of its identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Complainant seeks transfer of the disputed domain name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Respondent did not submit a Response.<\/span><\/p>",
