    "factual_background": "The Complainant, UCI, S.A., applied for the registration of the domain name <uci.eu> during the phased registration period. \r\n\r\nThe Respondent, EURid, decided on April 25, 2006 that the Complainant’s application would not be considered as a prior application filed by United Cinemas International (UK) Limited (hereinafter “United Cinemas”) for the same domain name had been granted.",
    "other_legal_proceedings": "None",
    "discussion_and_findings": "As stated by the Respondent, Article 10 of the Regulation defines \"prior rights\" as to include, inter alia, registered national and community trademarks.\r\n\r\nUnited Cinemas are the owners of the UK trademark registration No 1 397 006 for the word mark UCI, filed September 5, 1989 and registered March 20, 1992. A valid national trademark registration qualifies as a “prior right”. United Cinemas has sent the documentary evidence of this prior right on time and the validation agent has confirmed the existence of this right to the Respondent.\r\n\r\nReferring to the above, it is the Panels opinion that the Complainants request for disclosure of the grounds of the decision to grant United Cinemas the disputed domain name has been fulfilled.\r\n\r\nAs United Cinemas’ application for <uci.eu> was prior to the Complainant’s application for the same domain name, the Panel concludes that the Respondent rightfully accepted the application of the first applicant (United Cinemas). \r\n\r\nAccordingly, the Respondent correctly registered the domain name <uci.eu> in favour of United Cinemas.",
    "decision": "For all the foregoing reasons, in accordance with Paragraphs B12 (b) and (c) of the Rules, the Panel orders that\r\n\r\nthe Complaint is Denied.",

Thus, the domain name was registered based on a valid prior right.",
