#430 - katespade.ca - TRANSFER GRANTED

The Complainant is the owner of the highly popular KATE SPADE trademarks registered for use in association with a variety of luxury fashion goods.  The Respondent's representative is Daniel Mullen, often referred to as a notorious cyber squatter, in Canada.

Despite obtaining additional time to file a response, the  Respondent failed to do so.  The Panel found that the Domain Name was registered in bad faith because he has been in numerous proceedings brought by third party trademark owners in CDRP and UDRP cases.  Additionally, the Domain Name was being used as a pay-per-click site.
