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:
  (i) for which the Complainant holds a valid national or regional registration and that is in current use; or
  (ii) that has been validated through court proceedings; or
  (iii) that is specifically protected by a statute or treaty in effect at the time the URS complaint is filed.

Determined: Finding for Complainant

The Complainant provided documentary evidence that it is inter alia registered owner of the US trademark registrations 517,520, 527,512, 536,733, 127,5768, 263,8150, 275,8212, of a TIMKEN series (almost all of them are word marks), as well as documents to show that the trademark is in current use. The disputed domain name fully incorporates the Complainantâ€™s TIMKEN trademark. The applicable Top Level Domain (â€œTLDâ€) in a domain name (e.g., â€œ.comâ€, â€œ.clubâ€, â€œ.nycâ€) is viewed as a standard registration requirement and as such is disregarded under the first element confusing similarity test. The disputed domain name <timken.vip> is identical to the Complainantâ€™s TIMKEN Trademarks.

[URS 1.2.6.2] Registrant has no legitimate right or interest to the domain name.

Determined: Finding for Complainant

The Examiner determines that the Respondent is not commonly known by the TIMKEN name and that the Respondent has no connection or affiliation with the Complainant and has not received any license or consent, express or implied, to use Complainantâ€™s TIMKEN Trademarks in a domain name or otherwise. The <timken.vip> domain name is used for commercial website which is designed to scam the Complainantâ€™s customers: website contains the TIMKEN trademark at the top of each page in the same location the TIMKEN trademark is displayed on Complainantâ€™s own website, the "About Us" section of the <timken.vip> home page falsely claims to be The Timken Company, misleading customers into visiting the site and contacting Respondent to purchase Respondent's bearings and other products, which compete with Complainant's products. Thus, Examiner finds that the Respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests in the domain name <timken.vip>. Therefore, the Examiner finds that the Complaint meets URS requirement of 1.2.6.2.

[URS 1.2.6.3] The domain name(s) was/were registered and is being used in bad faith.
  a. Registrant has registered or acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of documented out-of pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or
  b. Registrant has registered the domain name in order to prevent the trademark holder or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that Registrant has engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or
  c. Registrant registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or
  d. By using the domain name Registrant has intentionally attempted to attract for commercial gain, Internet users to Registrant's web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of Registrant's web site or location or of a product or service on that web site or location.

Determined: Finding for Complainant

Due to the facts that the TIMKEN Trademarks are highly distinctive and that the Respondentâ€™s website available at the disputed domain name features the Complainantâ€™s logo and information about the Complainant, the Examiner accepts that the Respondent was aware of the Complainantâ€™s TIMKEN Trademarks at the time of the registration of the disputed domain name and therefore registered the disputed domain name in bad faith. As to bad faith use, by fully incorporating the TIMKEN trademark into the disputed domain name and by using the website at such domain name to offer products which are competing with the Complainantâ€™s products, the Respondent was, in all likelihood, trying to divert traffic intended for the Complainant's website to its own for commercial gain as set out in URS Procedure 1.2.6.3.d.

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:

The Complaint was neither abusive nor contained material falsehoods.
