The undersigned certifies that he or she has acted independently and impartially and to the best of his or her knowledge, has no known conflict in serving as the panelist in this proceeding. Judge Ralph Yachnin, as Panelist. The Complainant requests that the domain name be transferred from the Respondents to the Complainant. Complainant demanded Respondent cease using the domain name and also transfer the registration of the domain name to the Complainant. Shortly thereafter Respondents terminated the link, but did not transfer the registration of the domain name, nor is it using it.
Respondents have no right or legitimate interest in the subject domain name.
Respondents have acted in bad faith. Further, Bridal Rings is simply two generic words put together to make up one generic term. The term is descriptive and it has not been shown to have any secondary meaning. The fact that there has been advertising in various publications does not prove that secondary meaning has been achieved. Even if such proof is submitted, it is not enough to establish any type of exclusive claim on the term Bridal Rings.
