The
Complainant, Google Inc., is a little-known company based out of Mountain View,
California offering free web-based email services using the GMAIL trademark
with over one billion monthly users as of February 2016. The Registrant never
responded to the Complaint.
The
Domain Name resolves to a web site that contains the exact layout and format of
the Complainant’s web page leading users to believe they have reached the legitimate
GMAIL support site.
The
Panel found that the Domain Name was registered in bad faith because the
Registrant is clearly seeking commercial gain in that the GMAIL support
services purporting to be provided are chargeable and without license from the
Complainant. The disclaimer on the site cannot by itself cure this bad faith. (paragraph
3.5(d) of the Policy).
