The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7. 4. Factual Background
Complainant is a professional services and investment management firm specializing in real estate. It owns a number of registrations for the mark JLL, including a United States federal registration for JLL for various services related to real estate (Reg No. 4,564,654) which issued July 8, 2014. It also uses the domain name for its website.
Respondent registered the disputed domain name on January 29, 2018. The disputed domain name directs to a web page parked by the Registrar.
Complainant objected to Respondent's registration in email communications sent in February and March 2018. According to the Complaint, Complainant did not receive a response. 5. Parties' Contentions A. Complainant Identical or Confusingly Similar
The disputed domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant's JLL mark, which is registered and used in a number of jurisdictions throughout the world, including the United States and Latin America.
The disputed domain name differs from Complainant's JLL mark only with the added generic, descriptive term "Latino". Because the JLL mark is so closely associated with Complainant, this addition only increases the similarity between the name and the mark – particularly in light of Complainant's offices in Latin America. Rights or Legitimate Interests
Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name.
Respondent is not sponsored by or affiliated with Complainant in any way.
Complainant has not given authorized Respondent to use Complainant's trademarks in any manner, including in a domain name.
