Document:
The Respondent is M N (the “Respondent”) which lists its location as Wherever Street, Nowhere, United States of America.
The disputed domain name <genericviagrapills.net> (the “Domain Name”) is registered with eNom, Inc. (the�“Registrar”) Bellevue, Washington, United States of America.
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the�“Center”) on August 2, 2004 via email. On August 3, 2004, the Center sent an Acknowledgment of Receipt of Complaint to Complainant. The Complainant paid the required fee.
On August 10, 2004, in accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced.
On August 31, 2004, the Center notified the Respondent that he was in default. No Response was received.
Respondent registered the Domain Name on February 15, 2004.
In the Sole Panelist’s view it is beyond dispute that the Complainant has trademark rights in the VIAGRA Mark which is an invented word with a high degree of inherent distinctiveness and is well-known in respect to a drug addressing erectile dysfunction (Pfizer Inc v. The Magic Islands, WIPO Case No. D2003-0870; Pfizer, Inc. v. Martin Marketing, WIPO Case No. D2002-0793; Pfizer Inc. v. Jason Haft, WIPO Case No. D2003-0133; Pfizer Inc. v. myviagra / Wilbert Smith, WIPO Case No. D2002-0463; Pfizer Inc. v Order Viagra Online, WIPO Case No. D2002-0366).
It is an established principle that the mere addition of a generic or descriptive term and/or number does not create a different trademark in which Respondent has rights and cannot be considered as sufficient to avoid confusion between the Domain Name and the Complainant’s trademark (GA Modefine SA v. Riccardo Bin Kara-Mat, WIPO Case No. D2002-0195; Parfums Christian Dior v. 1 Netpower, Inc., WIPO Case No. D2000-0022; Nintendo of America, Inc. v. Gray West International WIPO Case No. D2000-1219; Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba d/b/a Toshiba Corporation v. Distribution Purchasing & Logistics Corp., WIPO Case No. D2000-0464).
The addition of the gTLD “.net” has no legal significance when comparing the Domain Name and the Mark. The Sole Panelist finds that Complainant has enforceable trademark rights and that the Domain Name is confusingly similar to the VIAGRA Mark pursuant to the Policy, paragraph 4(a)(i).
Complainant has provided evidence of its rights in the VIAGRA Mark and that the Domain Name was registered by Respondent on or about February 15, 2004. Based on Complainant’s submissions, the Sole Panelist considers that at that time Complainant had acquired a considerable reputation in the VIAGRA Mark in respect of a drug addressing erectile dysfunction throughout the world.
Complainant also contends that Respondent is not and never has been a representative of Complainant nor licensed to use the VIAGRA Mark and that he is not commonly known by the Domain Name.
Complainant further contends that Respondent’s use of the Domain Name to advertise and sell an alleged generic version of VIAGRA does not constitute a use in connection with a bona fide offering of goods and services. In line with previous WIPO decisions (Chanel, Inc. v.Cologne Zone, WIPO Case No. D2000-1809; National Collegiate Athletic Association and March Madness Athletic Association, L.L.C. v. Mark Halpern and Front & Center Entertainment, WIPO Case No. D2000-0700; Pfizer Inc. v. The Magic Islands, WIPO Case No. D2003-0870; Nikon, Inc. and Nikon Corporation. v. Technilab Inc.,WIPO Case No. D2000-1774) the Sole Panelist finds that no good faith can be assumed in Respondent’s conduct, in view of the fact that the Domain Name is confusingly similar to the Mark and is used in connection with the promotion and sale of competing products.
Based upon this evidence, the Sole Panelist finds that Complainant has shown sufficient facts to support a finding that Complainant has demonstrated the existence of the criteria in the Policy, paragraph 4(b)(iv) and that Respondent registered and used the Domain Name in bad faith pursuant to the Policy, paragraph 4(a)(iii).
For all the foregoing reasons, the Sole Panelist orders, in accordance with Paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, that the Domain Name <genericviagrapills.net> be transferred to Complainant.
