The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7. 4. Factual Background

The Complainant is a Brazilian company belonging to the Samsung corporate group headed by Samsung Electronics Ltd (Samsung Electronics). Established in 1938 in the Republic of Korea, Samsung Electronics is one of the world’s leading electronics companies today.

Under the exclusive license (Annex 4 to the Complaint) granted by Samsung Electronics, the Complainant is authorized to import SAMSUNG electronic products (such as cell phones, tablets and computers) in the Brazilian market, and to use and sublicense various SAMSUNG registered trademarks (hereinafter also referred to as the Complainant’s Trademark) within the Brazilian territory. The above license empowers the Complainant to act in defense of the Complainant’s Trademark.

The disputed domain name, registered on October 6, 2018 in the name of Domain Admin, Whois Privacy Corp. based in the Bahamas, resolves to a website in Portuguese advertising and selling SAMSUNG smartphones and displaying the notice “SAMSUNG Authorized Reseller”. As in the Samsung Eletrônica da Amazônia Ltda. v. Domain Admin, Whois Privacy Corp.,WIPO Case No. D2018-2034 cited in the Complaint, there is no identification of the website operator or disclaimer of affiliation with the Complainant or Samsung Electronics on the Respondent’s website. The home page of the Respondent’s website displays a Brazilian flag icon and states that the advertised products are shipped from abroad to any state of Brazil in 20-60 days.

According to the Complainant the SAMSUNG branded products displayed on the Respondent’s website are offered at prices that are lower than those of authorized reseller and this raises the question of whether they are genuine or counterfeit products. 5. Parties’ Contentions A. Complainant

The Complainant contends that:

2. Th
