The Complainant established its case and the Panel
transferred the domain names to the Complainant.
The Complainant is Vanguard Trademark Holdings USA, LLC, the
owner of the NATIONAL and ALAMO trade-marks, used in Canada in association with
automobile renting services. The Complainant has used the NATIONAL trade-mark
in Canada since 1950 and the ALAMO trade-mark in Canada since 1998. The
Registrant registered the disputed Domain Names on February 15, 2012 and did
not respond to this Complaint. Of note: the panelist found that the Domain Names
were registered in bad faith partly because the web sites were disrupting the
business of the Complainant - a section of the web sites were dedicated
to links to the Complainant’s competitors.
