The Complainant's trademark is partially reproduced in the disputed domain name with the mere suppression of one of the three "P" letters of PHILIPP PLEIN when joining the two words, which in the Panel's view does not distinguish the disputed domain name from the Complainant's trademark.
Quite on the contrary: such a suppression characterizes typosquatting aimed at Internet users that forget to type the third "P" in between PHILIPP and PLEIN.
The first element of the Policy has therefore been established.
