Complainant
submitted a Complaint to the National Arbitration Forum (the "Forum")
electronically on June 6, 2003; the Forum received a hard copy of the Complaint
on June 9, 2003.

confirmed by e-mail to the Forum that the domain names <wwwyahou.com>,
<yahhoomail.com> and <yhooh.com> are registered with
eNom and that Respondent is the current registrant of the names. Iholdings.Com,
Inc. d/b/a Dotregistrar.Com and eNom have verified that Respondent is bound by
their respective registration agreements and has thereby agreed to resolve domain-name
disputes brought by third parties in accordance with ICANN's Uniform Domain
Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy").
On
June 12, 2003, a Notification of Complaint and Commencement of Administrative
Proceeding (the "Commencement Notification"), setting a deadline of
July 2, 2003 by which Respondent could file a Response to the Complaint, was
transmitted to Respondent via e-mail, post and fax, to all entities and persons

Having
received no Response from Respondent, using the same contact details and
methods as were used for the Commencement Notification, the Forum transmitted
to the parties a Notification of Respondent Default.
On
July 11, 2003, pursuant to Complainant's request to have the dispute decided by
a single-member Panel, the Forum appointed James A. Carmody, Esq., as Panelist.
Having
reviewed the communications records, the Administrative Panel (the
"Panel") finds that the Forum has discharged its responsibility under
Paragraph 2(a) of the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy
(the "Rules") "to employ reasonably available means calculated
to achieve actual notice to Respondent."
Therefore, the Panel may issue its decision based on the documents
submitted and in accordance with the ICANN Policy, ICANN Rules, the Forum's
Supplemental Rules and any rules and principles of law that the Panel deems
applicable, without the benefit of any Response from Respondent.
Complainant
requests that the <hothjobs.com> domain name be transferred to
HotJobs.com, Ltd, that the <geociteies.com> and
<geocitief.com> domain names be transferred to GeoCities, that the <launchmuiscvideo.com>
and <launchcastradio.com> domain names be transferred to
Launch Media, Inc. and that the remaining seventy-one (71) domain names be
transferred to Yahoo! Inc.
A. Complainant makes the following assertions:
1. Each of disputed domain names are
confusingly similar to Complainant’s YAHOO!, YAHOOLIGANS!, LAUNCH, GEOCITIES,
and/or HOTJOBS marks.
2. Respondent does not have any rights or a
legitimate interest in the disputed domain names by virtue of the fact that
each trades on the goodwill of Complainant’s YAHOO!, YAHOOLIGANS!, LAUNCH,
GEOCITIES, and/or HOTJOBS marks, and Respondent’s use of those marks is
unauthorized.
3. Respondent’s registration and use of the
disputed domain names meet the bad faith requirement described in Paragraph
4(a)(iii) of the UDRP.
B. Respondent failed to submit a Response in
this proceeding.
The first named
Complainant, Yahoo! Inc., is a global communciations, media, and commerce
company that provides a network of comprehensive searching, directory, information,
communciation, shopping and other online activities. Yahoo! Inc. owns numerous
worldwide trademark registrations for the YAHOO! mark, including U.S. Reg. No.
2,040,222, registered on the Principal Register of the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office (“USPTO”) on February 25, 1997. In addition, Yahoo! Inc. holds
several registrations for the YAHOOLIGANS! mark, such as U.S. Reg. No.
2,088,882, which was registered on the Principal Register of the USPTO on
August 9, 1997. Yahoo! Inc.’s services include both local and international web
directory services, primarily accessed by Internet users at the
<yahoo.com> domain name. Yahoo! Inc. also provides services specifically
designed for children aged 7-12 at the <yahooligans.com> domain name.
The second
Complainant in this administrative proceeding, GeoCities, is a leading host of
personal home pages on the Internet and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Yahoo!
Inc. GeoCities owns several trademark registrations for the GEOCITIES mark,
including U.S. Reg. No. 2,214,762, registered on the Principal Register of the
USPTO on December 30, 1997. The GeoCities website is located at the
<geocities.yahoo.com> domain name.
HotJobs.com,
Ltd., the third Complainant in this proceeding, is a provider of recruiting
solutions and software, and is also a wholly owned subsidiary of Yahoo! Inc.
HotJobs.com, Ltd. operates a website at the <hotjobs.com> domain name,
where Internet users conduct job searches, post resumes and utilize career
tools and guides on topics related to the job seeking process. In 2001, the
last year where its revenues were reported seperately from Yahoo! Inc.,
HotJobs.com, Ltd. earned $117.6 million in revenues. HotJobs.com, Ltd. receives
14,000 new resumes and nearly 4,000,000 search requests per day, and has
extensivly promoted its mark in commerce, including advertising of its services
during the Super Bowl, which reaches an average of 137,000,000 viewers each
year. In addition to its common-law rights in the HOTJOBS mark, HotJobs.com,
Ltd. applied for a trademark registration for the mark on the Principal
Register of the USPTO on January 10, 1996, and received a trademark
registration for the mark from the Canadian Trademark Office on November 12,
2002 (Reg. No. TMA570701).
The fourth and
final Complainant, Launch Media, Inc., is another wholly owned subsidiary of
Yahoo! Inc. Launch Media, Inc. offers music services under the LAUNCH mark at
the <launch.yahoo.com> domain name, and was listed as one of the most
popular music destinations on the web in the U.S. according to
Nielson//NetRatings. In addition to its continuous use of the LAUNCH mark in
commerce since 1997, Launch Media, Inc. registered the LAUNCH mark on the
Principal Register of the USPTO on June 20, 2000 (U.S. Reg. No. 2,360,015).
Respondent, Henry
Chan, is the registrant and the administrative and technical contacts for the
disputed domain names. Respondent’s e-mail address is listed as
henrychan852@yahoo.com on all of the registrations. His postal mailing
addresses are listed as P.O. BOX SS-6348/A124, Nassau, Bahamas on seventy-three
of the registrations, (all of which were registered with Iholdings.Com, Inc.
d/b/a Dotregistrar.Com) and 67 Nathan Road, Kowloon, NA, HK on the three
disputed domain names registered with eNom. Despite the different addresses
listed for some of the domain names, Henry Chan is the registrant of each of
the disputed domain names, and the Panel finds the complaint in compliance with
ICANN Rule ¶ 3(c).
Respondent
registered all of the disputed domain names between March 6, 2002, and February
28, 2003, and is not licensed or authorized to use any of Complainant’s marks
for any purpose. Respondent uses all of the disputed domain names to redirect
Internet users to an Internet search engine and web directory website that displays
an Internet search box titled “Try the Top Searches on the Web!” Each of the
disputed domain names also generate several pop-up advertisements. A list of
“Popular Searches” is also displayed at each of the disputed domain names, as
is a list of hyperlinks that vary from domain name to domain name. For example,
the hyperlinks at the <allofyahoo.com> domain name relate to
services such as shopping, finance and travel, while the <launchyahoo.com>
domain name contains hyperlinks to music services and the <hothjobs.com>
domain name advertises employment services.
Paragraph 15(a)
of the Rules instructs this Panel to "decide a complaint on the basis of
the statements and documents submitted in accordance with the Policy, these
Rules and any rules and principles of law that it deems applicable."
In view of
Respondent's failure to submit a Response, the Panel shall decide this
administrative proceeding on the basis of Complainant's undisputed
representations pursuant to paragraphs 5(e), 14(a) and 15(a) of the Rules and
draw such inferences it considers appropriate pursuant to paragraph 14(b) of
the Rules.
Paragraph 4(a)
of the Policy requires that Complainant must prove each of the following three
elements to obtain an order that a domain name should be cancelled or
transferred:
(1) the domain name registered by Respondent
is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which
Complainant has rights; and
(2) Respondent has no rights or legitimate
interests in respect of the domain name; and
(3) the domain name has been registered and
is being used in bad faith.
Complainants
have established rights in the YAHOO!, YAHOOLIGANS!, LAUNCH, GEOCITIES and
HOTJOBS marks through registration of those marks with the appropriate
governmental agencies worldwide, as well as through widespread and continuous
use of the marks in commerce.
All of the
disputed domain names are confusingly similar to at least one of Complainant’s
marks. Specifically, the <allofyahoo.com>, <arabicyahoo.com>,
<dialsbcyahoo.com>, <dslsbcyahoo.com>, <httyahoo.com>,
<htyahoo.com>, <launhyahoo.com>, <lanchyahoo.com>,
<lanuchyahoo.com>, <movieyahoo.com>, <mxyahoo.com>,
<postalesyahoo.com>, <sbcdslyahoo.com>, <sbcglobalyahoo.com>,
<sbcglobalyahoo.net>, <sbcyahoo.net>, <spanolyahoo.com>,
<yahoo9.com>, <yahooagains.com>, <yahooagians.com>,
<yahooail.com>, <yahooamail.com>, <yahooaustralia.com>,
<yahoochart.com>, <yahoodictionary.com>, <yahooemotes.com>,
<yahoohooligans.com>, <yahoogalins.com>, <yahoofreegames.com>,
<yahoogallery.com>, <yahooimages.com>, <yahoolagines.com>,
<yahoolagoons.com>, <yahoolanch.com>, <yahoolmail.com>,
<yahoologin.com>, <yahoomailo.com>, <yahoomasenger.com>,
<yahoomex.com>, <yahoomusiclaunch.com>, <yahoomusicvideo.com>,
<yahoomusicvideos.com>, <yahoopool2.com>, <yahoopostales.com>,
<yahooresume.com>, <yahoosignup.com>, <yahootunnel.com>
and <yahooupdate.com> domain names each incorporate Complainant’s
famous YAHOO! or YAHOOLIGANS! mark in their entirety, making the dominant
feature of each domain name Complainant’s mark. Respondent operated in a
similar fashion with respect to the <launchcastradio.com> and <launchmuiscvideo.com>
domain names, which entirely incorporate Complainant’s LAUNCH mark with the
addition of words that relate directly to the services offered under that mark.
Respondent’s additions to Complainants’ marks, with either generic words,
strings or letters or numbers, geographic names or other misspelled words do
not alter the fact that Complainants’ famous marks are the principal feature of
each of these confusingly similar domain names. See Reuters Ltd. v. Global Net 2000, Inc., D2000-0441 (WIPO July 13,
2000) (finding that a domain name which differs by only one letter from a
trademark has a greater tendency to be confusingly similar to the trademark
where the trademark is highly distinctive); see also see also Arthur Guinness Son & Co. (Dublin)
Ltd. v. Healy/BOSTH, D2001-0026
(WIPO Mar. 23, 2001) (finding confusing similarity where the domain name in dispute
contains the identical mark of Complainant combined with a generic word or
term).
Likewise,
Respondent’s <launchyahho.com>, <launchyaho.com>, <myhahoo.com>,
<myyahho.com>, <wwwjahoo.com>, <yahhogroups.com>,
<yaholl.com>, <yaooho.com>, <yaool.com>,
<yhoou.com>, <ylahoo.com>, <yohoogames.com>,
<yugihoo.com>, <ywahoo.com>, <wwwyahou.com>,
<yahhoomail.com>, <yhooh.com>, <yaholagens.com>,
<yaholigins.com>, <yahooglians.com>, <yahooliangs.com>,
<yahooligian.com> and <yhoolagins.com> domain names
are also confusingly similar to Complainants’ marks. Rather than verbatim
incorporating Complainant’s YAHOO! or YAHOOLIGANS! marks in these domain names,
Respondent misspells Complainant’s marks, again with the addition of
inconsequential words or letter strings. Respondent continues this pattern of
abusive registrations with the <geociteies.com>, <geocitief.com>
and <hothjobs.com>, which are simple misspellings of Complainants’
GEOCITIES and HOTJOBS marks. These misspellings are not enough to prevent a
finding of confusing similarity by the Panel. See Victoria’s Secret v. Zuccarini, FA 95762 (Nat. Arb. Forum Nov. 18,
2000) (finding that, by misspelling words and adding letters to words, a
Respondent does not create a distinct mark but nevertheless renders the domain
name confusingly similar to Complainant’s marks); see also Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Zuccarini, FA
94454 (Nat. Arb. Forum May 30, 2000) (finding the domain name
<hewlitpackard.com> to be identical or confusingly similar to
Complainant’s HEWLETT-PACKARD mark).
Accordingly, the
Panel finds that each of the disputed domain
names are confusingly similar to Complainant’s registered marks under Policy ¶
4(a)(i).
Respondent uses
each of the infringing domain names to redirect Internet traffic to a search
engine. At the same time, Respondent subjects these redirected Internet users
to a series of pop-up advertisements. Respondent’s use of Complainant’s marks
for these purposes is neither a bona fide offering of goods or services pursuant
to Policy ¶ 4(c)(i) nor a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain
names pursuant to Policy ¶ 4(c)(iii). See Yahoo! Inc. v. Web Master
a/k/a MedGo, FA 127717 (Nat. Arb. Forum Nov. 27, 2002) (finding that
Respondent’s use of a confusingly similar domain name to operate a
pay-per-click search engine, in competition with Complainant, was not a bona
fide offering of goods or services); see also Geoffrey, Inc. v. Toyrus.com,
FA 150406 (Nat. Arb. Forum April 5, 2003) (holding that Respondent’s use of the
disputed domain name, a simple misspelling of Complainant’s mark, to divert
Internet users to a website that featured pop-up advertisements and an Internet
directory, was neither a bona fide offering of goods or services nor a
legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name).
Given the fame
of Complainant’s marks, the lack of any evidence in the disputed domain names’
WHOIS contact information, and the fact that most of the disputed domain names
are simple misspellings of Complainant’s marks, the Panel finds that Respondent
is not “commonly known by” the disputed domain names for the purpose of Policy
¶ 4(c)(ii). See Tercent Inc. v. Lee Yi, FA 139720
(Nat. Arb. Forum Feb. 10, 2003) (stating “nothing in Respondent’s WHOIS
information implies that Respondent is ‘commonly known by’ the disputed domain
name” as one factor in determining that Policy ¶ 4(c)(ii) does not apply); see
also MRA Holding, LLC
v. Costnet, FA 140454
(Nat. Arb. Forum Feb. 20, 2003) (noting that “the disputed domain name does not even correctly
spell a cognizable phrase” in finding that Respondent was not “commonly known
by” the name GIRLS GON WILD or <girlsgonwild.com>).
Additionally, the Panel chooses to view Respondent’s failure to submit
a response to the Complaint as evidence that it lacks rights or legitimate
interests in the disputed domain names. See Pavillion Agency, Inc.
v. Greenhouse Agency Ltd.,
D2000-1221 (WIPO Dec. 4, 2000) (finding that Respondents’ failure to respond
can be construed as an admission that they have no legitimate interest in the
domain names); see also Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce v. D3M Virtual Reality Inc., AF-0336 (eResolution
Sept. 23, 2000) (finding no rights or legitimate interests where no such right
or interest was immediately apparent to the Panel and Respondent did not come
forward to suggest any right or interest it may have possessed).
Accordingly, the
Panel finds that Respondent does not have rights or legitimate interests in the
disputed domain names under Policy
¶ 4(a)(ii).
Respondent
registered and used the disputed domain names in bad faith. Respondent’s domain
names all rely on their confusing similarity with Complainants’ marks to
redirect Internet users to search engine websites. Respondent’s reliance on the
goodwill surrounding these marks to redirect Internet users to websites
unrelated to Complainant and to then subject those users to commercial pop-up
advertisements equates to bad faith use and registration of the domain names
pursuant to Policy ¶ 4(b)(iv). See Kmart v. Kahn, FA 127708 (Nat. Arb.
Forum Nov. 22, 2002) (finding that if Respondent profits from its diversionary
use of Complainant's mark when the domain name resolves to commercial websites
and Respondent fails to contest the Complaint, it may be concluded that
Respondent is using the domain name in bad faith pursuant to Policy ¶
4(b)(iv)); see also G.D. Searle & Co. v. Celebrex Drugstore, FA
123933 (Nat. Arb. Forum Nov. 21, 2002) (finding that Respondent registered and
used the domain name in bad faith pursuant to Policy ¶ 4(b)(iv) because
Respondent was using the confusingly similar domain name to attract Internet
users to its commercial website).
The Panel thus
finds that Respondent registered and used the disputed domain names in bad faith, and that Policy ¶
4(a)(iii) is satisfied.
Having
established all three elements required under ICANN Policy, the Panel concludes
that relief shall be GRANTED.
Accordingly, it
is Ordered that the <hothjobs.com> domain name be TRANSFERRED
from Respondent to HotJobs.com, Ltd, that the <geociteies.com> and
<geocitief.com> domain names be TRANSFERRED from Respondent to
GeoCities, that the <launchmuiscvideo.com> and
<launchcastradio.com> domain names be TRANSFERRED from
Respondent to Launch Media, Inc. and that the <allofyahoo.com>, <arabicyahoo.com>,
<dialsbcyahoo.com>, <dslsbcyahoo.com>, <httyahoo.com>,
