#364 - paylesshoes.ca - TRANSFER GRANTED


The Complainant opened its first PAYLESS SHOESOURCE retail shoe location in Canada in 1997, and now operates over retail locations across 10 provinces.  In 2008, its sales were in excess of $180,000,000.00/year and over 25,000,000 pairs of footwear sold.  The Registrant registered its Domain Name in 2004, long after the Complainant registered its trademarks.

The Panel found that the Domain Name was registered in bad faith because the Registrant was operating pay-per-click site, and obtaining advertising revenue from third parties.
