- styfle 9y agoTo summarize, someone is typo squatting Disney (an many other domains) which tricks users into installing a Chrome extension. Here's the relevant part: > Respondent’s <disenychannel.com>, <disneychsnel.com>, and <disneycjannel.com> domain names are identical or confusingly similar to Complainant’s trademarks. > Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the <disenychannel.com>, <disneychsnel.com>, and <disneycjannel.com> domain names. Respondent is not commonly known by the domain names, nor has Complainant authorized, licensed, or otherwise permitted Respondent to use the DISNEY CHANNEL mark. Respondent also does not use the domain names in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services or legitimate noncommercial or fair use. Rather, Respondent displays the message "You’re one click from your destination" on the resolving domain, and asks visitors to click a "CONTINUE" button in order to view the website. When users click this button, the user is prompted to agree to install a "Safe Browsing Chrome" extension. Respondent also uses the <disneychsnel.com> and <disneycjannel.com> domain names to redirect users to a landing page which have links to sites related to Complainant’s products or services, although not limited to Complainant’s own goods and services. Further, Respondent attempts to sell the <disneycjannel.com> domain name on the resolving domain. Finally, Respondent’s slight misspelling of its registered marks and domain name constitutes typosquatting, further demonstrating Respondent’s lack of rights and legitimate interests.
