The Respondent has admitted that the name was deliberately chosen and intended as a reference to the Complainant s products. The evidence does not indicate that the Respondent had any legitimate basis to register the domain name. The question of whether or not the Respondent s alleged intended use of the name would have been legitimate is dealt with below. Even the Respondent s declared intended use would constitute use of the disputed domain name in bad faith. The Panel therefore concludes that the Complainant is correct and that the name was registered in bad faith.
Subsequent events constitute use in bad faith.
In the light of the above findings, the Panel s decision is as set out below. Even if the intended use was for a site concerning the Complainant s products, such use would in all circumstances be use in bad faith. This Panel directs that the domain name be transferred to the Complainant.
