McAfee,the antivirus software and computer security company has recently won a domain name dispute .
The company submitted a complaint to the National Arbitration Forum,requesting the disputed domain name to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
The complainant has submitted evidence of federal trademark registrations for the "McAfee" mark with the USPTO.Therefore they contended the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark.
Morever,the complainant,accused the respondent ,Keith Carcasole ,of registering and using the domain name in bad faith .
The "Respondent is using the disputed domain name to directly compete with Complainant by computer security products and services through the resolving website."
"Respondent’s use of the confusingly similar <macaffe.com> domain name in order to intentionally attract Internet users to its website by creating a strong likelihood of confusion with Complainant’s MCAFEE mark and in order to offer computer security products and services in direct competition with Complainant is further evidence of bad faith."
Because McAfee managed to demonstrate all the elements needed and because the respondent failed to submit a response in this proceeding,the Panel decided the disputed domain name ,macaffe.com,to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
