Findings of Fact: Complainant, Cerner Corporation, was founded in 1979 and incorporated in January 1980. Complainant engages in the business of consulting with and producing, marketing, and selling computer software and devices in the hospital and health industry. Complainant states that it has accumulated substantial public goodwill and acquired extensive rights in the CERNER mark, and owns registered trademarks with registration numbers 1,458,174; 1,837,060; 3,696,690; 3,696,691; 2,550,007; 3,772,467; 3,772,468; and 4,593,249. Complainant states that it has been using the mark continuously in commerce since January 1985, and registered the mark in September 1987. |
Even though the Respondent has defaulted, URS Procedure 1.2.6, requires Complainant to make a prima facie case, proven by clear and convincing evidence, for each of the following three elements to obtain an order that a domain name should be suspended.
[URS 1.2.6.1] The registered domain name(s) is/are identical or confusingly similar
to a word mark: Determined: Finding for Complainant Complainant has submitted copies of US Trademarks Nos. 1,458,174; 1,837,060; 3,696,690; 3,696,691; 2,550,007; 3,772,467; 3,772,468; and 4,593,249 and evidence of use. Examiner finds that the disputed domain name <cerner.online> is identical to the Complainant’s CERNER trademark, as the gTLD ‘online’ is not relevant for a finding under URS 1.2.6.1. Examiner finds that Complainant has established the first element under URS 1.2.6.1(i). [URS 1.2.6.2] Registrant has no legitimate right or interest to the domain name. Determined: Finding for Complainant Respondent has not filed a Response. Complainant has not authorized Respondent to use its registered trademark. Examiner finds that the Complainant has established that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in <cerner.online>.
[URS 1.2.6.3] The domain name(s) was/were registered and is being used in bad faith.
Determined: Finding for Complainant Complainant submits evidence that the domain name <cerner.online> resolves to a Sponsored links' website used for obtaining advertising revenues. Hence, it is apparent that Respondent had Complainant in mind when registering the disputed domain name and that Respondent registered the domain name either with the purpose of selling it to Complainant or to a third party and prevent the Complainant from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name and Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract users for commercial gain by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark. Examiner finds that the Complainant has established the element under URS 1.2.6.3. FINDING OF ABUSE or MATERIAL FALSEHOOD The Examiner may find that the Complaint was brought in an abuse of this proceeding or that it contained material falsehoods. The Examiner finds as follows:
DETERMINATION
After reviewing the parties’ submissions, the Examiner determines that the Complainant
has demonstrated all three elements of the URS by a standard of clear and convincing
evidence; the Examiner hereby Orders the following domain name(s) be SUSPENDED for
the duration of the registration:
