Honorable Carolyn Marks Johnson sits as Panelist. Complainant contends that Respondent s registration and use of a confusingly similar variation of Complainant s well-known mark are inherently deceptive and clearly done with bad faith intent. Complainant asserts that Respondent knew of Complainant s internationally famous mark upon registering the domain name in question. The Respondent submitted no response in this UDRP matter. As a result, all reasonable inferences asserted in the Complaint will be deemed true.
Complainant is a provider of Internet search, information, e-commerce and portal services.
Respondent has registered many other domain names that contain common misspellings of other famous trademarks. Respondent s domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant s mark. UDRP Panels in prior cases have found that misspellings or typographical variations of famous marks are confusingly similar . See Sunglass Hut Corp. v. The panel concludes that the domain name in question is confusingly similar to the Complainant s mark.
