Dan Parisi and “Madonna.com”,

L’Expert considère en l’espèce que le nom de domaine litigieux est un cas évident de typosquatting, dans la mesure où cette suppression d’une seule lettre par rapport au nom de domaine enregistré par le Requérant vise à détourner les internautes qui commettent une erreur de frappe en voulant accéder au site Internet “www.phildar.fr” et omettent de taper la lettre “h” entre le “p” et le “i”, sont alors dirigés vers un site Internet offrant des liens vers des sites dédiés à la laine et au tricot, et sont donc amenés à penser que ce site est exploité par le Requérant.

In addition, given the extensive and worldwide reputation of the NESTLÉ trademark and the presence of Complainant in the China market since 1908, as determined by the documentary evidence and contentions submitted, the Panel sees no plausible explanation for Respondent's adoption and use of the term “nestle” in conjunction with the term “careers” in the disputed domain name other than to attract for commercial gain Internet users. See Madonna Ciccone, p/k/a Madonna v. Dan Parisi and “Madonna.com”,
