The Complainant is a quick-selling service restaurant in the
chicken segment, and owner of the family of registered Canadian trademarks,
CHICK-FIL-A. The majority of the Complainant’s
restaurants are in the United States however it does operate in Calgary,
Alberta. The Registrant failed to submit a substantive response, but did offer
to transfer the Domain Name to the Complainant.
The Panel found that the Domain Name was registered in bad
faith because the passive holding of a Domain Name prevents the rights holder
from registering its trademark as a Domain Name, and ignoring cease and desist
letters strongly supports a finding of bad faith.
