WIPO Domain Name Decision D2024-2085 for phenixinsurance.com pdf (161 KB)

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2026-0295 for rallphlauren.com pdf (170 KB)

Complainants further contend that the Disputed Domain Name is a purposeful misspelling of the RALPH LAUREN Mark and should be considered a prototypical example of typosquatting, which intentionally takes advantage of Internet users that inadvertently type an incorrect address – often a misspelling of the RALPH LAUREN Mark – when seeking to access Complainants’ website. ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2022-0789 for alliduniversal.com html (18 KB)

The disputed domain name incorporates the Complaint’s trademark with the exception of the first “i” in the Complainant’s trademark being omitted from the dispute domain name. Such conduct is referred to as “typosquatting” and does not prevent a finding of confusing similarity. See WIPO Overview 3.0, section 1.9. ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2021-3860 for northerntrustb.com, northerntrustsbank.com, northerntrustunion.com, ntbtrustunion.com html (21 KB)

These types of differences may be the kind of mis-typing which panels have frequently found to be “typosquatting”. See e.g. WIPO Overview 3.0, section 1.9. The fourth disputed domain name, , can be seen as an initialism of the Complainant’s trademark NORTHERN TRUST BANK plus the words “trust” and “union”. ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2022-0977 for megaparseonals.com, megaparsonalese.com pdf (145 KB)

The Complainant’s request is based on the following: (1) the Disputed Domain Names both contain similar typosquatting structures which misspell “personals” by using an “a” instead of an “e” and adds at least one “e” elsewhere in the word “personals”; (2) the Disputed Domain Names are both designed to look like the Complainant’s website for apparent phishing purposes; (3) the Disputed Domain Names were both registered using the same Registrar and the same privacy protection service; (4) the Disputed Domain Names were registered within 10 days of each other; (5) the Disputed Domain Names were both registered with apparently false contact information; (6) the email addresses associated with the Respondent use a similar combination of random syllables followed by a number, which both utilize the gmail service as the email provider. ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2022-0560 for cavanacar.com pdf (149 KB)

In addition, in light of the fact that the disputed domain name entirely reproduces the Complainant’s trademark CARVANA except for the omission of one letter “r”, with the addition of a descriptive term related to the Complainant’s sector, the Panel finds that this is a clear case of typosquatting, which is a further circumstance evidencing bad faith. See Manheim Auctions Inc. v. Whois ID Theft Protection, WIPO Case No. ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2022-2470 for perrigos-uk.com pdf (161 KB)

Prior UDRP panels have found registering a domain name that adds a single letter to a complainant’s trademark to be within the conduct commonly referred to as “typosquatting”, prohibited under the Policy, “the practice of misspelling an element of the mark, has consistently been regarded as creating domain names confusingly similar to the relevant mark.” ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2022-2814 for carrofourpass.com pdf (179 KB)

La marque CARREFOUR PASS est reprise dans le nom de domaine litigieux, à la seule différence de la lettre “a”, qui est remplacée par la lettre “o”. Il s’agit d’une pratique bien connue de typosquatting, qui n’est pas de nature à éviter toute similitude prêtant à confusion. Il y a donc une similitude prêtant à confusion entre la marque CARREFOUR PASS et le nom de domaine litigieux . ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2022-3526 for carvanaouto.com pdf (164 KB)

The Complainant operates in more than 265 markets, and in 2020 sold more than 240,000 vehicles to retail customers (Annexes 5, 6 to the Complaint); (ii) The Complainant holds several trademark registrations for the CARVANA trademark and variations thereof in the United States; (iii) This case is a textbook case of cybersquatting, typosquatting and phishing. The Respondent is engaged in the unauthorized use of the Complainant’s registered trademarks, as the Complainant’s trademark page 3 CARVANA is included in its entirety in the disputed domain name with simple addition of a descriptive word “outo” (a typographical error for “auto”); (iv) Previous UDRP panels have recognized that the CARVANA trademark is a distinctive trademark that is heavily advertised and well known. ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2022-3517 for redbulll.com pdf (236 KB)

The addition of the third letter “l” to the Complainant’s mark, being a typical example of misspelling of the Complainant’s trademark (i.e. typosquatting), does not avoid the confusing similarity between the disputed domain name and the Complainant’s trademark: in fact, RED BULL is clearly recognizable within the disputed domain name. ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2022-2729 for googziprecruiter.com pdf (156 KB)

The Complainant also asserts that the Respondent used the Disputed Domain Name in bad faith since: (i) the Disputed Domain Name is linked to a PPC website containing links thematically similar to the Complainant’s activities which constitutes an attempt to generate a commercial gain by creating a likelihood of confusion with the ZIPRECRUITER Trademarks; and (ii) The Respondent has continually registered domain names pertaining to famous brands, either through typosquatting or appending terms to the mark and was already involved in 7 domain disputes with the Complainant itself. ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2022-1446 for mysodexosavingspaln.com, mysodexosavinsplan.com pdf (277 KB)

This is a behavior, which is similar to the practice of typosquatting (where respondents are misspelling complainants’ trademarks) that clearly indicates the resemblance with the Complainant’s trademark put in the context of the (misspelled) phrase used by the Complainant. ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2022-1505 for spuerkeess-lu.com, spuerkeess.info, spuerrkeess.com pdf (163 KB)

The Panel finds that the addition of only one letter to the Complainant’s mark can be considered as “typosquatting” and creates virtually an identical and/or confusingly similar domain name to the Complainant’s mark (see section 1.9 of the WIPO Overview 3.0; VIEFFE S.R.L. v. ...

The other 37 disputed domain names incorporate versions of the JOHN HANCOCK mark with a letter variously mistyped, inverted, or added. This practice is known as “typosquatting”. In each case, these disputed domain names contain sufficiently recognizable aspects of the relevant mark to be considered confusingly similar to it. ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2021-2549 for canadian-fire.com html (19 KB)

Regarding the disputed domain name, the Panel finds that it differs from the CANADIAN TIRE Trademark merely by the replacement of the letter “t” by the letter “f” and by the addition of a hyphen in the disputed domain name. This conduct is commonly referred to as “typosquatting” and creates a virtually identical and/or confusingly similar mark to the Complainant’s trademark, all the more that the letters “t” and “f” are diagonally adjacent to one another on a “qwerty” keyboard, and the Panel considers that the CANADIAN TIRE Trademark is clearly recognizable in the disputed domain name (Wachovia Corporation v. ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2021-3099 for xfinityrewards.com html (21 KB)

Complainant In the Complaint, it is submitted that: (i) The Complainant has spent over three billion dollars (USD) to advertise and promote its business, goods, and services under the XFINITY marks; (ii) The XFINITY mark is one of the most valuable marks in the United States and worldwide, as evidenced by a number of rankings; (iii) The XFINITY marks are undeniably famous and indicative of high quality and of origin associated exclusively with the Complainant; (iv) The Complainant has incorporated its XFINITY mark in numerous other common law (unregistered) marks that are used or licensed for use for various goods and services, including, but not limited to XFINITY REWARDS and XFINITY REWARD CENTER, for providing perks, experiences and rewards to the Complainant’s customers;   (v) The disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s XFINITY marks, such as XFINITY REWARDS and XFINITY REWARD CENTER, with the only difference from the latter being the addition of the letter “s” to the word “reward” and omitting the word “center”; (vi) UDRP panels have held that domain names are likely to be held confusingly similar to established marks if they incorporate the mark or a variation of the mark, including where, as here, a letter is added to the mark; (vii) It is well accepted that an act of typosquatting is sufficient to render a domain name confusingly similar to an established mark under the Policy; (viii) The addition of the generic Top-Level Domain (“gTLD”) “.com” to a trademark to create a domain name is irrelevant when considering the similarity of a domain name (which must have a “gTLD”) to the trademark; (ix) The Respondent has never been authorized by the Complainant to use any of the XFINITY marks or any mark confusingly similar thereto as a mark or as part of a domain name; (x) The Respondent does not make a bona fide offering of goods or services (within the meaning of paragraph 4(c)(i) of the Policy) under the disputed domain name, which redirects Internet users to other web pages; (xi) The disputed domain name’s use is neither noncommercial nor fair use as the Respondent presumably receives compensation in the form of “click through” or web page impression revenues from the third parties to whom visitors are redirected; (xii) Even if the Respondent claims not to receive compensation, UDRP panels have found that the presence of advertisements constitutes a commercial element that precludes a finding of fair use; (xiii) Nothing in the Respondent’s WhoIs information or in any other information known about it implies that the Respondent has ever, much less prior to the registration of the disputed domain name, been commonly known by the name “XfinityRewards”; (xiv) There is no evidence that the Respondent has any trademark rights corresponding to the disputed domain name; (xv) The only evident reason for the Respondent to have registered the disputed domain name for a website was to attract Internet users looking for the Complainant’s XFINITY websites for its own commercial gain; (xvi) The Complainant’s registration of its XFINITY marks provided the Respondent with constructive notice of the Complainant’s marks prior to the registration of the disputed domain name; and (xvii) By registering and using the disputed domain name to operate a portal, which contains commercial links to the websites of competitors and non-competitors of the Complainant, and which presumably earns the Respondent referral or pay-per-click fees, the Respondent has sought to capitalize on the goodwill existing in the Complainant’s XFINITY marks, thus acting in bad faith as per the Policy. ...

Furthermore, in light of the mere one letter difference denoting singular or plural between the disputed domain names and and the Complainant’s registered trademark DREAM MARRIAGE, the Panel considers this case a classic example of typosquatting (Manheim Auctions Inc. v. Whois ID Theft Protection, WIPO Case No. D2006-1044). This conclusion was also reached in Allied Building Products Corp v. ...

WIPO Domain Name Decision D2020-1524 for sodẹxo.com html (20 KB)

The IDN letter “ẹ” constitutes an obvious misspelling of the Complainant’s SODEXO mark that could be made by an Internet user and is characteristic of typosquatting practice intended to create confusing similarity between the Complainant’s SODEXO mark and the disputed domain name. ...
