STADA Arzneimittel AG v/ Monsieur K.
The company STADA Arzneimittel AG was represented by Caroline Casalonga, Attorney at Law, assisted by Edouard Becker, Attorney at Law.
The company STADA Arzneimittel AG, which owns several trademarks "STADA" and the domain name <stada.com> , was informed of the reservation of the domain name <stada.fr> by Monsieur K., who was using this domain name as parking page.
The company STADA Arzneimittel AG therefore lodged a SYRELI complaint before the French Network Information Centre (AFNIC) in order to obtain the transfer of the domain name <stada.fr> .
The SYRELI College of the AFNIC followed the arguments developed by STADA and confirmed that the domain name <stada.fr> was likely to infringe the intellectual property rights of the company STADA Arzneimittel AG, that Monsieur K. had no legitimate interest in reserving this domain name and that it had been registered in bad faith by Monsieur K.
The SYRELI College of the AFNIC therefore ordered the transfer of the domain name <stada.fr> to the company STADA Arzneimittel AG.
