The obvious
misspelling of the trademark, i.e., the inversion of the letter “e” and “l” and the deletion of the letter “t”, is a
characteristic typosquatting practice intended to create confusing similarity with a trademark. The slight
spelling variation does not prevent the disputed domain name from being confusing similar to the
Complainant’s trademark. ...The disputed domain name is a typosquatted
version of the trademark ARCELORMITTAL. Typosquatting is the practice of registering a domain name in

The Complainant
contends that:
- The Disputed Domain Name is formed by a typographical misspelling of the ACCENTURE trademark,
which simply swaps the letters “e” and “n” in the ACCENTURE trademark. This constitutes “typosquatting”
and is generally insufficient to materially distinguish it from the ACCENTURE trademark; and
- Internet users are very likely to be confused as to whether an association exists between the Disputed
Domain Name and the Complainant.
...The Complainant
contends that:
- The Complainant has acquired worldwide reputation of the ACCENTURE trademarks;
- The ACCENTURE trademark is a coined term with no obvious dictionary meaning;
- The Respondent had constructive notice of the ACCENTURE trademarks when it chose the Disputed
Domain Name;
- The Respondent registered the Disputed Domain Name that simply swaps the letters “e” and “n” in the
Complainant’s ACCENTURE trademark, which constitutes typosquatting and this is evidence of bad faith;

Notably, the Complainants contend that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to their trademark
TAYLOR WIMPEY and that the repetition of the letter “i” constitutes typosquatting.
The Complainants further contend that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed
domain name for the following reasons: (i) the Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain

Domain Name and the Complainant, its trademarks and its associated domain names.

Furthermore, the Complainant contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect
of the disputed domain name since:
- the Respondent is not affiliated with the Complainant and no authorization has been granted to the
Respondent to make any use of the Complainant’s trademarks, consequently no actual or contemplated
bona fide or legitimate use of the disputed domain name could reasonably be claimed;
- the Respondent did also not demonstrate use of or demonstrable preparations to use the disputed
domain name or name corresponding to the disputed domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of
goods or services;
- the composition of the disputed domain name constitutes clear evidence that the Respondent wishes
to give an overall impression that the disputed domain name is related to the Complainant and misleadingly
divert consumers for fraud or commercial gain;
- registering the disputed domain name that differs from the famous mark MICHELIN by only one letter,
seeks to take advantage of users and as “typosquatting” does not constitute according to the previous panels
a legitimate use of the disputed domain name; and
- since the Respondent has never replied to a cease-and-desist letter despite of several reminders,
panels have repeatedly stated that when the respondent does not avail himself of his right to respond to the
complainant, it can be assumed that the respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed
domain name.
And finally, the Complainant submits that the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used
in bad faith arguing that:
- it is implausible that the Respondent was unaware of the Complainant when it registered the disputed
domain name, since the Complainant is well-known throughout the world, many UDRP panels have
previously acknowledged the Complainant’s reputation worldwide, making it unlikely that the Respondent
was not aware of the Complainants’ rights in said trademark;
- the composition of the disputed domain name entirely reproduces the Complainant’s trademark
MICHELIN differing only in one letter and the extension from the Complainant’s official domain name, thus it
cannot be inferred that the Respondent was unaware of the Complainant when it registered the disputed
domain name and it constitutes a case of typosquatting, which is indicative of bad faith;
- a quick MICHELIN trademark search would have revealed to the Respondent the existence of the
Complainant and its trademark. ...

In the present case, the Complainant essentially contends that the disputed domain names are all under
common control based on the following elements: the similar typosquatting naming pattern of the disputed
domain names targeting the Complainant’s trademarks, the alleged clearly identifiable patterns and
correlations including the Respondents’ use of a series of false names and contact information to register the
disputed domain names as part of a coordinated phishing attack against the Complainant, and the fact that
the disputed domain names were all registered within the space of approximately two weeks.
Accordingly, the Panel is finds it more likely than not that the disputed domain names are subject to common
control, particularly based on the fact that they have all, according to the Complainant’s evidence, been
created using a similar typosquatting naming pattern targeting the Complainant’s marks, were registered
within a short timeframe, and seem to have all been registered with false identity and contact information.
