Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondent’s default on October 25, 2007.
The Center appointed P-E H Petter Rindforth as the sole panelist in this matter on October 29, 2007. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. ...The disputed domain name is almost identical to the Complainant’s trademark, with the only difference that the letter “F” in the trademark is missing and replaced in the domain name by the letter “p”. As stated by the Complainant, the letters “p” and “f” are linguistically related and the minor difference between the mark and the disputed domain name is not enough to change the impression of the domain name being confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark.

Both the mark and the domain name at issue have the same letters in common, where the letters "P" and "H have been transposed as follows:
S P H E R I O N
S H P E R I O N
This is a slight difference, which does not suffice to distinguish the domain name from the mark. ...To the contrary, the only evidence relating to the use of the domain name points to the pornographic character of the links reached by Internet users who misspelled Complainant’s marks by involuntarily changing the position of the letters "P" and "H."

The Complainant asserts that the disputed domain name exactly reproduces its INTESA SANPAOLO trademark with the sole difference being the addition of the letter “P” in the middle of the word. The Complainant points out that the letter “P” is next to the letters “O” and “L” on the qwerty keyboard. ...It can then be seen that the disputed domain name is almost identical to the Complainant’s trademark, the only difference being the addition of the letter “P”. In the Panel’s view the additional letter does not serve to distinguish the disputed domain name from the Complainant’s trademark and, on the contrary, it appears to have been added purely to take advantage of a common typing error which can result from the fact that the letters “O”, “L” and “P” are adjacent on qwerty keyboards. ...
