The
Complainant, Compagnie Generale des Establissements Michelin, is one of the
world’s largest tire manufacturers. The Registrant is Jason Hughes, and he did
not respond to the Complaint. The Complainant had worldwide revenue in 2012
over 30 billion CAD.
The
Domain Name, cheapmichelintires.ca, is currently being used to forward
customers to getcheapparts.ca containing goods, including Michelin tires and
products from competitors. The Panel
found that the Domain Name was registered in bad faith because the Registrant would
be motivated by commercial gain and use the MICHELIN trademark to attract users
to its site.
