The company owns many trademark registrations for the "Yahoo" mark.Therefore,it is more than obvious that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark .Moreover,the company contended that the respondent registered and used the disputed domain names in bad faith .
"The Respondent demanded AUD 5,000.00 for each of the disputed domain names, and in the absence of any Response or other explanation from the Respondent, this Panel finds on the balance of probabilities the Respondent registered or acquired each of the disputed domain names primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the disputed domain names to the Complainant who is the owner of the YAHOO! trademark or to an associate or a competitor of the Complainant, or to the owner of the GOOGLE, EBAY or AFL marks for valuable consideration in excess of his documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the disputed domain names."
