The Complainant is an Italian based company, with the registered company name GREEN-HOUSE S.r.l.<\/p>\n
The physical person that is the owner of the Complainant, is the registered owner of the Italian National Trademark No. 2019000053490 GREEN HOUSE DESIGN PROJECTS SUITE APARTMENTS (fig), registered on February 25, 2020 for services in classes 36, 42, 43.<\/p>\n
The Respondent is a domain investor.<\/p>\n
The disputed domain name <green-house.eu> was registered in the name of the Respondent on August 4, 2025.<\/p>", "other_legal_proceedings": "
The Panel is not aware of any other legal proceedings related to the disputed domain name.<\/p>", "discussion_and_findings": "
The Panel notes that the Complainant refers to a national Italian trademark registration, stating that the trademark is “GREEN-HOUSE”. However, the cited trademark is in fact “GREEN HOUSE DESIGN PROJECTS & SUITE APARTMENTS” in a figurative form. Further, the said trademark is registered in the name of a physical person, not the Complainant, although the said physical person has some legal connections to the Complainant. To summarize: The Panel cannot see any confusing similarities between Complainants' cited figurative trademark and the disputed domain name <green-house.eu>.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Next, Complainant states that the disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to Complainant’s company name GREEN-HOUSE S.r.l. The Panel agrees with the Complainant that the disputed domain name is identical to the Complainant's company name.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The question is whether <green-house.eu> has been registered by its holder without rights or legitimate interest in the name. It is obvious that the Complainant has not given the Respondent any rights to register <green-house.eu>. However, the term “GREEN-HOUSE”, with or without the hyphen, is very common, both as trademarks used by several different companies within the European Union, but also as a descriptive phrase. The word “greenhouse”, according to the Cambridge dictionary, means “a building with a roof and sides made of glass, used for growing plants that need warmth and protection”. As Respondent is in the business of registering and selling domain names, which is legal as long as not registered in bad faith, a general and descriptive word\/phrase may well give the Respondent a legitimate interest for registration, use, sale, etc.<\/p>", "decision": "

the Complaint is Denied.<\/p>", "panelists": [ "Petter Rindforth" ], "date_of_panel_decision": "2025-10-06 00:00:00", "informal_english_translation": "
