Rights or Legitimate Interests Complainant has shown that Respondent is not commonly known by the domain name. See Hartford Fire Ins. Respondent asserted no rights or legitimate interests in the domain name at issue. Accordingly, Respondent s failure to show evidence sufficient to rebut Complainant s assertions, entitles the Panel to conclude that Respondent has no such rights or legitimate interests in regard to the domain name at issue. Registration and Use in Bad Faith Respondent has made no use of the domain name in question and Respondent s failure to use the domain name constitutes passive holding.
Passive holding is a demonstration of bad faith.
Respondent has demonstrated a pattern of registering domain names confusingly similar to others marks and domain names. Also, Respondent s registration of a domain name confusingly similar to the Complainant s mark has prevented the complainant from using the mark.
