The
Complainant, Behr Process Corporation, is an immensely popular paint, stain and
varnish manufacturer. The Registrant’s contact information is privacy
protected, and did not respond to the Complaint. The Complainant first began
using its BEHR trademark in Canada in 1980 and the Domain Name was first
registered on January 9, 2008.
The
Domain Name, behr.ca, is currently being used as a pay-per-click web site,
including links to Behr Paint and Behr Paint Colours, amongst others. The Panel found that the Domain Name was
registered in bad faith because the Registrant is reaping a financial benefit
by way of referral fees.
