#413 - gmcdealer.ca - TRANSFER GRANTED

The Complainant owns the GMC trademark, used in Canada since 1912, and registered in November, 1957. The Domain Name was registered in March, 2019, and is used as a "survey website" requesting credit card information, and later as a pay-per-click website. The Registrant ignored the Complainant's cease and desist letter delivered through CIRA message delivery form.

The Panel found that the Domain Name was registered in bad faith, in part by registering at least 65 domain names corresponding to third party trademarks, and because the Registrant failed to respond to the cease and desist letter.
