ADT, the Alarm company, just lost a UDRP on the domain name adtdealers.com which was registered on November 11, 2003.
The domain holder did not file a response.
The content of the adtdealers.com domain name appears to be complaints and plights from consumers who have become weary of the aggressive and hard-line tactics employed by Complainant’s affiliates and suggests that Internet users should favor certain ADT dealers over other dealers
The Panel holds that Complainant has not established a prima facie case in support of its arguments that Respondent lacks rights and legitimate interests under Policy ¶ 4(a)(ii).
The Panel found that the Complainant failed to meet the burden of proof of bad faith registration and use under Policy ¶ 4(a)(iii).
The Panel further finds that Respondent has not registered or used the <adtdealers.com> domain name in bad faith as if it finds that Respondent has not violated any of the factors listed in Policy ¶ 4(b) or engaged in any other conduct that would constitute bad faith registration and use pursuant to Policy ¶ 4(a)(iii).
