However these four examples do not exhaust other criteria
Careful consideration has been given to authorities in which bad faith has been inferred after long periods of non-use and the domain name consists of a name which can only sensibly refer to the Complainant, that there is no obvious justification for the Respondent’s selection of the domain name, and the Respondent had defaulted. For example see: (Sony Kabushiki Kaishia v. sony.net, WIPO Case no, D2000-1075) and (Cellular One Group v. Paul Brien, WIPO Case No. ...

But the wording of paragraph 4(c)
of the Policy appears to envisage a respondent taking steps to demonstrate its
right or interest, and it is generally accepted that, once a complainant has
proved that the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to its mark
and that it has not authorized the respondent to use the domain name, the evidential
onus shifts to the respondent to demonstrate that it has some right or legitimate
interest (see for example Sony Kabushiki Kaisha v. Sony.net, WIPO
Case No. D2000-1074. The Panel agrees with that general approach.

A finding that a respondent does not have a legitimate interest
in a domain name that is confusingly similar to the mark of another, does not
establish bad faith registration or use, but the facts that support the finding
may be relevant to the bad faith inquiry. As noted in Sony Kabushiki Kaisha
v. Inja, Kil, WIPO Case No. D2000-1409
a finding of bad faith registration and use may be based on a conclusion that
it is "inconceivable that the Respondent could make any active use of the
disputed domain names without creating a false impression of association with
the Complainant," but standing alone this would be a tenuous basis for
such a conclusion.
