The WIPO Overview 3.0, at
section 3.3, describes the circumstances under which the passive holding of a domain name will be
considered to be in bad faith: “While panelists will look at the totality of the circumstances in each case,
factors that have been considered relevant in applying the passive holding doctrine include: (i) the degree of
distinctiveness or reputation of the complainant’s mark, (ii) the failure of the respondent to submit a response
or to provide any evidence of actual or contemplated good-faith use, (iii) the respondent’s concealing its
identity or use of false contact details (noted to be in breach of its registration agreement), and (iv) the
implausibility of any good faith use to which the domain name may be put”. See Andrey Ternovskiy dba

Use of a domain name for purposes such as phishing or malware distribution, constitutes bad faith use (WIPO Overview 3.0, section 3.4) and further evidences bad faith (Andrey Ternovskiy dba Chatroulette v. Transfer Service, Sedo.com, LLC,
WIPO Case No. D2018-2510).
The Panel considers also the apparent concealment of the Domain Name holder’s identity through use of a privacy shield, which is further indicative of bad faith (BHP Billiton Innovation Pty Ltd v. ...

In another case, the panel held that the domain name was confusingly similar to the trademark CHATROULETTE. See Andrey Ternovskiy dba Chatroulette v. Lloyd Ales,
WIPO Case No. D2018-0648. If the jarring word “sex” did not significantly dilute confusing similarity in the Chatroulette case, then it would seem logically to follow that the unspectacular word “and” does little or nothing to efface the prominence of the famous FACEBOOK mark in these Domain Names.

The Complainant argues that the use of a trademark in a domain name in which letters have been omitted, added, inverted or substituted, a practice commonly known as “typosquatting” does not negate the confusingly similar aspects of the domain name under the Policy.
