Parties' Contentions Complainant contends that it has rights in the trade name to Sugoi and that the Respondent registered the domain name in bad faith, in essence, to divert customers from Complainant's site or to prevent Complainant from using a domain name which was useful in Complainant's business. Respondent contends that Respondent's interest in the domain name is legitimate. Complainant has offered no evidence negating that assertion. These factors are discussed in series. Identity or confusing similarity.
Complainant does business under that name.
The Panel concludes, based on the record submitted, that the mark Sugoi is a source identifier for Complainant's business and products. Complainant's mark has a broad reach, and several iterations of the mark have been registered. Several additional applications are pending. However, more is required by the Policy. The Complainant asserts that the Respondent registered the domain name for an improper purpose.
