Italian food giant Barilla G. e R. Fratelli SpA successfully acquired the domain name BarillaPasta.com in August 2024 through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Arbitration and Mediation Center (Center).
意大利食品巨头Barilla G. e R. Fratelli SpA于2024年8月成功通过世界知识产权组织(WIPO)仲裁与调解中心(中心)获得域名BarillaPasta.com。该域名自2004年注册以来,一直被RCL Systems持有。Barilla以其自1968年起注册的BARILLA商标为基础,向WIPO提交了统一域名争议解决政策(UDRP)申请。
Barilla.com网站
案件背景
Barilla,作为全球知名的意大利面制造商,其品牌在食品行业具有广泛的影响力。该公司拥有多个与“BARILLA”相关的商标,并且已经在多个国家注册了这些商标。争议域名BarillaPasta.com的注册人RCL Systems在域名注册期间多次更改联系信息,并在2019年尝试以3000美元的价格出售该域名。
WIPO裁决过程
投诉于2024年6月5日提交给WIPO,随后经过注册商验证和通信程序,案件于6月10日正式启动。由于被投诉人未提交答辩,中心于7月3日通知其违约。最终,WIPO指派Andrea Jaeger-Lenz作为专家组成员,于7月10日开始审理。
争议要点
1.域名与商标的相似性:
专家组确认争议域名BarillaPasta.com与Barilla商标相似,可能导致混淆。虽然域名中添加了“pasta”,但这种添加并不足以消除与商标的相似性。
2.被投诉人的权利或合法利益:
专家组发现,被投诉人未能证明对争议域名的合法权利或利益。使用该域名的停放页面上显示的商业链接与投诉人的商标相关,且没有证据表明被投诉人善意使用域名。
3.恶意注册和使用:
专家组认定被投诉人或其前任注册人显然知晓Barilla商标的知名度,并故意使用域名来吸引流量,从而谋取商业利益。此外,出售域名的尝试显示出恶意意图。
最终裁决
基于上述分析,WIPO专家组决定将争议域名BarillaPasta.com转让给投诉人Barilla G. e R. Fratelli SpA。此裁决基于《统一域名争议解决政策》的相关条款,明确了投诉人对域名的合法权益,并认定被投诉人存在恶意注册和使用行为。
