The Complainant requests that the domain names be transferred from the Respondent to the Complainant. Complainant first used the mark in 1977. The mark has been registered in the United States since 1989 and the mark is registered in a number of other countries including Twain, Republic of China, France, Great Brittan, Germany, Spain, the European Community, Hong Kong, China, Peoples Republic of China, and Singapore. The registration cost would be paid over to Mr. Fang and Respondent. It asserts that Mr. Fang and Respondent have no authority to use the domain name.
Complainant also asserts that the Respondent has made no use of the domain name for any purpose.
Complainant finally asserts that Mr. Fang and Respondent registered the domain name in bad faith in order to extort concessions concerning a proposed new investment opportunity. The Reply was timely received but the payment required was late. In general, Respondent denies any wrong doing or bad faith. Further, Complainant s version of the events is more believable than Respondent s version. Complainant has alleged, and has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Panelist, that the registration of the domain name by Respondent was a ploy.
