#211 - legostore.ca - TRANSFER GRANTED



The Complainant established its case and the panelist therefore directed the transfer of legofurniture.ca to the Complainant. 

The Registrant (Emma A. Lehmann) did not respond to the Complaint. LEGO Juris A/S (“LEGO”) in an extremely well-known maker of toy building block sets.  The LEGO trade-mark was registered in Canada in 1957.  The Domain Name was registered on July 27, 2012 and the Complainant therefore served a cease and desist letter.  After following-up, the Registrant requested a payment in the amount of $2,500.00 plus escrow fees, opening the door for the Complainant to satisfy that the Domain Name was registered in bad faith (paragraph 3.5 (a)).  The panelist noted that more facts would be necessary as it relates to the website and its funding model, before finding bad faith under 3.5 (d) (intentionally attempting to attract user for commercial gain).
