The fact that “kookai” is a “made up” word, coined by the Complainant and having no common meaning in English or any other language independent of the Complainant’s trade mark, serves to strengthen the presumption that the Respondent’s registration of the Disputed Domain Name was motivated solely to create confusion amongst Internet users and take advantage of the Complainant’s reputation in the KOOKAI trade marks (see Sony Kabushiki Kaisha (also trading as Sony Corporation) v.

A descriptive element cannot remove the overall impression made on the public by a trademark which is the dominant part of the domain name (Sony Kabushiki Kaisha (also trading as Sony Corporation) v. Inja, Kil,
WIPO Case No. D2000-1409). Furthermore, it is obvious to the Panel that the phrase “Black Friday” is commonly identified with retailing and, given that the Complainant’s CANADIAN TIRE trademarks are likewise strongly associated with retail activities, the Panel is of the view that this intensifies the confusing similarity of the disputed domain name to the Complainant’s CANADIAN TIRE trademarks.

WIPO Case No. D2000-1409). Furthermore, in the present case the Panel agrees with the Complainant that the descriptive word “finance” is more likely to give rise to far greater confusion because it is in effect a description of the services provided by the Complainant under its GFI trademark.
