The Complainant
established its case and the panelist therefore directed the transfer of
cadillacxts.ca to the Complainant. The registrant (Tony Wilson) did not respond
to the Complaint. General Motors LLC has numerous trade-marks registered and
applied for in Canada, including CADILLAC (registered) and CADILLAC XTS
(applied for). The Domain Name was not being hosted on any server and therefore
did not resolve to any active website. Despite not actively using the Domain
Name, the panelist found that the Registrant chose to adopt the Domain Name
where the prominent component was the world-famous CADILLAC trade-mark in
itself an indication that the Registrant is intentionally attempting to
attract, for commercial gain, the attention of Internet users. This section
3.5(d) analysis will assist rights-holders when proceeding against Registrants
with inactive Domain Names.
