The Domain
Name at issue is thule.ca. Thule is a Swedish
manufacturer of carriers, racks and cases for transportation. The Registrant,
Liang Yingjie is an individual residing in Mississauga, Ontario, who did not respond
to the complaint.
The disputed Domain
Name was registered on August 21, 2014 without the Complainant's knowledge
or permission. Thule registered its trademark in 1981. The complainant
registered its thule.com domain
name in 1998 and owns 247 "Thule"-related domain names worldwide.
The panel
found that the Domain Name was registered in bad faith as evidenced by the pay
per-click links to third party websites present on the site which disrupted the
business of the Complainant for the purposes of financial gain (as well as the
banner indicating that the site was for sale).
