Baylor University gets hands on bayloruniversity.com

Baylor University, a private, Baptist-affiliated research university located in Waco, Texas submitted a complaint to the National Arbitration Forum,requesting the domain name bayloruniversity.com to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.

All started when Masterofmydomains,which is also the respondent in this case,registered the disputed domain name .
It wouldn't have been such a big problem ,if Baylor University wouldn't have been the owner of of "Baylor University" mark,registered with the United Stated Patent and Trademark Office .
Therefore,the University began the case by demonstrating the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its "Baylor" mark.
Moreover,they contended that the respondent registered and used the domain name in bad faith.
"Respondent uses the domain name to resolve to a website featuring third-party hyperlinks unrelated to Complainant and Complainant’s educational services. Under such use, the Panel is permitted to make an inference that Respondent receives click-through fees from the aforementioned hyperlinks. Internet users, interested in Complainant and Complainant’s educational services, may become confused as to Complainant’s affiliation with or sponsorship of the disputed domain name or resolving website. Respondent attempts to profit from this confusion. The Panel finds that Respondent’s use of the identical disputed domain name constitutes bad faith registration and use."
It also seems that the respondent tried to sell the disputed domain name to complainant for $2,909.
Because the respondent failed to sub,it a response in this proceeding and because the complainant managed to demonstrate all the elements needed,the Panel decided the disputed domain name to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
