The Complainant requests that the domain name be transferred from the Respondent to the Complainant. Complainant has filed an application regarding this name with the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office. Further, Complainant contends that Respondent does not use, nor has it ever used the domain name for a legitimate purpose or made any fair use of the name. The name has only been used to direct to other web sites. Complainant alleges Respondent has no right or legitimate interest to the domain name in question because Respondent is not known by that name nor has he used the domain name in connection with any purpose whatsoever.
Complainant contends that Respondent s actions show a pattern of such conduct.
Respondent contends it has rights or a legitimate interest in the domain name in question because it is developing it as a portal sight. It contends that it has not acted in bad faith since Complainant initiated the contact between the parties. Respondent alleges that the offer to sell a generic word cannot be an act of bad faith and that none of its actions have been in bad faith. The domain name in question is confusingly similar to the mark or trade name used by Complainant in its business. Respondent has no legitimate interest or rights to the domain name in question.
