Numerous proceedings have determined that domain
names which include a distinctive mark in its entirety are confusingly similar
to such mark (Microsoft Corporation v Party Night, Inc d/b/a Peter Carrington

The Complainant contends that YALLA is a descriptive Arabic term meaning "lets
go" or "come on" and the Panel accepts this definition. ...Whilst the Panel accepts
that Javan Singh, Gnxonline, Raq-server, Samtech and Esamtech are all aliases
for the same company or source (as discussed above in the factual background)

to register domain names under any of these aliases, which would fall within

It is highly possible that the Respondent passively holds the inactive Disputed Domain Names for some future active use in a way that would be competitive with or otherwise detrimental to the Complainant. ...

The assertion that each domain name was registered for the purpose of selling, renting or otherwise transferring to the Complainant is supported by sworn evidence of the Australian counsel for the Complainant, Ms Catherine Chant (Exhibit L to the Complaint). This affidavit, sworn on February 28, 2000, attests to a number of discussions between Ms Chant and the principal representative of the Respondent, Mr. Peter Thompson, in March 1999, in which it was made clear that the Respondent would only "return" the domain names to the Complainant for "something of value". ...

Além disso, o Direito Português, confere aos titulares de pedidos de registro de marca direitos provisórios sobre a marca (CPI, artigo 5º). ...Decisão
Tendo em vista que o Nome de Domínio é idêntico à marca sobre a qual o Reclamante tem direitos, que o Reclamado não tem direitos ou legítimo interesse em relação ao Nome de Domínio e que o Nome de Domínio foi registrado e está sendo utilizado de má fé, este Painel decide, de acordo com o Parágrafo 4(i) da Política e 15 do Regulamento, que o Nome de Domínio deve ser transferido para o Reclamante.

This has been expressed in prior decisions; see for example Harrods Limited v. Peter Pierre,

Having the above in mind, the Panel concludes that the disputed domain name <9westshoes.com> is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademarks 9 WEST and NINE WEST and that the Complainant has proved the requirement under paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy.
...Such exploitation of the reputation of trademarks to obtain click-through commissions from the diversion of Internet users is an indication of use in bad faith according to previous case law. See e.g., L´Oréal, Biotherm, Lancôme Parfums et Beauté & Cie v. Unasi, Inc,

k) In the circumstances, whilst in this case there is no evidence of any use of the Domain Name "for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark" of the Complainant (in the words of paragraph 4(c)(iii) of the UDRP), on the evidence presented the use being made of the Domain Name by the Respondent could hardly be called "legitimate noncommercial or fair use" of the Domain Name.
Registration and use in bad faith
(l) There is little here upon the basis of which the Panel may conclude that the Respondent has registered the Domain Name in order to prevent the Complainant from reflecting the Trademark in a corresponding domain name, but it is not necessary to make any finding in this regard because there is simply no evidence whatsoever provided by the Complainant that there is a "pattern of such conduct", which is the proviso for a finding under this paragraph 4(b)(ii) of the UDRP.
...Accordingly, the Panel determines in accordance with paragraph 15 of the Rules that the Domain Name expedeia.com be transferred to the Complainant, Expedia, Inc., in accordance with paragraph 4(i) of the UDRP.
