Wal-Mart ,an American public corporation that runs a chain of large, discount department stores has recently won a domain name dispute .
The public corporation filed a complaint with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center,requesting two domain names,peapleofwalmart.com and walmart-winners.com to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
Wal-Mart owns many registered trademarks for the "Wal-Mart" mark all over the world.
Therefore,they contended that the dispute domain names are confusingly similar to its trademark.
Moreover,they also contended that the repondent registered and used the domain names in bad faith.
"The Respondent uses the disputed domain names in bad faith as the websites to which the disputed domain names resolve, make use of the Complainant’s WAL-MART and WALMART marks in order to raise advertising revenue through the use of sponsored links."
Because the respondent failed to submit a response in this proceeding and because the complainant managed to demonstrate all the elements needed,the Panel decided the two domain names to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
