Document:
Respondent is 1ViagraStore, Chapala, Jalisco, of Mexico.
The disputed domain name <1viagrastore.net> (the “Domain Name”) is registered with eNom.
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the�“Center”) on August 2, 2004. On August 3, 2004, the Center transmitted by email to eNom a request for registrar verification in connection with the Domain Name. On August 5, 2004, eNom transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details for the administrative, billing, and technical contact. The Center verified that the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Policy”), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Rules”), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Supplemental Rules”).
Complainant has provided evidence of trademark registrations for the word “VIAGRA” in the United States (Registration No. 2,162,584 dated June 2, 1998 - see Annex 3) and in many other countries, including Mexico (see Annex 4), owned by Complainant or by its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Respondent registered the Domain Name on May 13, 2004 (Annex 1).
As shown by the printout of relevant pages of the web site to which the Domain Name resolves (Annex 6), Respondent advertises and sells sildenafil citrate as “Generic Viagra” and another competing product, “Generic Cialis”, along with information about Complainant’s “VIAGRA” medication.
It is an established principle that the mere addition of a generic term and/or number does not create a different trademark in which the respondent has right and cannot be considered 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).
On this issue the Panel further notices that the term “store” is plainly descriptive and generic particularly if used, like in the case in hand, for a web site that functions as an online store or shop (Deutsche Telekom AG v. Timmy Comeau, WIPO Case No. D2003-0377; Casio Keisanki Kabushiki Kaisha (Casio Computer Co., Ltd.) v. Jongchan kim, WIPO Case No. D2003-0400); on the other hand, the word “store” can likely be associated with Complainant’s business, therefore the combination with “VIAGRA” clearly is confusing (Yahoo! Inc. v. Jorge O. Kirovsky WIPO Case No. D2000-0428).
In the light of the above and of the fact that the addition of the gTLD.net has no legal significance when comparing the Domain Name and Complainant’s trademark, the Panel finds that this element has been established.
Complainant has provided evidence of its rights in the trademark for the term “VIAGRA” and that the Domain Name was registered by Respondent on or about May�13, 2004. Based on Complainant’s submissions, the Panel considers that at that time Complainant had acquired a considerable reputation throughout the world for the “VIAGRA” mark in respect of a drug addressing erectile dysfunction.
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 Panel considers that no good faith can be assumed in Respondent’s conduct, in view of the fact that the Domain Name is confusingly similar with Complainant’s trademark and is used in connection with the promotion and sale of competing products.
Because Respondent failed to submit an answer to the Complaint, and given that the allegations of the Complaint prima facie do not raise substantial doubts, the Panelist accepts as true all allegations set forth in the Complaint and holds that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name.
Furthermore, the printout of relevant pages of Respondent’s web site “www.1viagrastore.net” (Annex 6) shows that Respondent has been using the Domain Name to promote and sell sildenafil citrate pharmaceutical products as “generic Viagra” as well as other competing products, such as “Generic Cialis”, along with information about the genuine VIAGRA-branded sildenafil citrate that originates from Complainant.
For all the foregoing reasons, the Panel orders, in accordance with Paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, that the Domain Name <1viagrastorestore.net> be transferred to Complainant.
