RELIEF SOUGHT
Complainant requests that the domain name be transferred from
Respondent to Complainant.
PARTIES’ CONTENTIONS
A. Complainant makes the following assertions:
1. Respondent’s <coffeerio.com> domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant’s COFFEE RIO mark.
2. Respondent does not have any rights or legitimate interests in the <coffeerio.com> domain name.
3. Respondent registered and used the <coffeerio.com> domain name in bad faith.
B. Respondent
stated that he did not wish to contest this case and consents to the transfer
of the <coffeerio.com>
domain name to Complainant.
Preliminary Issue: Consent to Transfer the Subject Domain Name
Respondent does not contest any of
Complainant’s allegations regarding the <coffeerio.com> domain
name. Rather, Respondent has
consented to judgment in favor of Complainant and authorized the immediate
transfer of the subject domain name. The
Panel therefore elects to forego the traditional UDRP analysis and order the
immediate transfer of the domain name. See
Boehringer Ingelheim Int’l GmbH v. Modern Ltd. – Cayman Web Dev., FA 133625
(Nat. Arb. Forum
DECISION
Accordingly, it is Ordered that the <coffeerio.com> domain name be TRANSFERRED
