Complainant is the proprietor of several registered trademarks, among them the German trademark registration DE 302010067371 “netto-online” for services in class 35. \r\n\r\nComplainant sent a warning letter to Respondent claiming transfer of the domain name based on abusive registration. During the further correspondence, Respondent mentioned EUR 800.000 as a basis for negotiation for the transfer of the domain name.\r\n\r\nComplainant instead filed the present ADR proceedings.\r\n  \r\nThe Respondent did not file a response in these proceedings.",

    "discussion_and_findings": "According to Art 21 No. 1 of the Regulation (EC) No. 874\/2004 of April 28, 2004, a registered domain name shall be subject to revocation where that name is identical or confusingly similar to a name in respect of which a right is recognised or established by national and\/or Community law, such as the rights mentioned in Article 10(1), and where it has been registered by its holder without rights or legitimate interest in the name or has been registered or is being used in bad faith. \r\n \r\nComplainant is the proprietor of several registered trademarks, among them the German trademark registration DE 302010067371 “netto-online” for services in class 35.\r\n\r\nThis trademark of Complainant and the domain name in question are identical. \r\n\r\nSince it is sufficient in accordance with Art 21 of the Regulation (EC) No. 874\/2004 of April 28, 2004 if use in bad faith is evidenced, the panel will examine this requirement first.\r\n\r\nArt 21 Nr. 3 of the Regulation (EC) No. 874\/2004 of April 28, 2004 says:\r\n\r\n„Bad faith, within the meaning of point (b) of paragraph 1 may be demonstrated, where:\r\n(a)  circumstances indicate that the domain name was registered or acquired primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name to the holder of a name in respect of which a right is recognised or established by national and\/or Community law or to a public body.“\r\n\r\nThe offer of a domain name representing a trademark of a third party to the proprietor of the trademark for a purchase price that is by far super elevated is the standard case of bad faith as numerous panels have decided in the past (see only CAC 05374, Carive, Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. .\/. ZHENG QINGYING).\r\n\r\n\r\nTherefore, the panel need not examine whether or not the domain name has been registered by its holder without rights or legitimate interest in the name or has been registered in bad faith. \r\n \r\nThe Complainant satisfies the eligibility criteria set out in article 4 (2) (b) of Regulation (EC) No 733\/2002.",
    "decision": "For all the foregoing reasons, in accordance with Paragraphs B12 (b) and (c) of the Rules, the Panel orders that the domain name NETTO-ONLINE.eu be transferred to the Complainant.",
