#243 - studentuniverse.ca - TRANSFER GRANTED

The Panel found that the Complainant has rights in the STUDENTUNIVERSE mark based on use in Canada since May 2000.

The Complainant operates the studentuniverse.com web site. The Registrant is a competing travel agent operating its site at s-trip.com (where the studentuniverse.ca. web site resolves) The Registrant did not respond and attempted to file materials and requested an extension of time to file same, which was denied.

The Panel held that the Domain Name was registered in bad faith because the parties were competitors and offered the same services to students.
