The famous fashion house won recently a domain name arbitration case .The company filed a complaint with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center,asserting legal rights over the disputed domain name .
The complainant was filed on April 5,2011 .
Prada provided evidence that it is the owner of the international registrations for the "Prada" mark.Therefore,the company contended that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark.
Moreover,the company contended that the respondent,had registered and used the domain name in bad faith .
"Respondent likely knew of Complainant and Complainant’s PRADA Marks when it registered the Disputed Domain Name. Complainant has been using its PRADA Marks for decades and has trademark registrations throughout the world for PRADA. Further, Complainant has asserted, and Respondent has not refuted, that Complainant has well-established rights in the PRADA Marks and that these marks are famous. Taken together, these facts make it likely that Respondent knew of Complainant’s marks and unlikely that Respondent innocently registered the Disputed Domain Name without such knowledge."
The respondent failed to submit a response in this proceeding.
