The disputed domain name is registered with 101domain GRS Limited (the “Registrar”). 3. Procedural History

The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the “Center”) on January 2, 2019. On January 2, 2019, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrar a request for registrar verification in connection with the disputed domain name. On January 3, 2019, the Registrar transmitted by email to the Center its verification response disclosing registrant and contact information for the disputed domain name which differed from the named Respondent and contact information in the Complaint. The Center sent an email communication to the Complainant on January 4, 2019 providing the registrant and contact information disclosed by the Registrar, and inviting the Complainant to submit an amendment to the Complaint. The Complainant filed an amended Complaint on January 9, 2019.

The Center verified that the Complaint together with the amended Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Policy” or “UDRP”), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Rules”), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Supplemental Rules”).

In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2 and 4, the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on January 10, 2019. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5, the due date for Response was January 30, 2019. On January 16, 2019, someone connected to the Respondent (a Dr. Zaytseff) sent an email to the Center stating that the disputed domain name was registered for the Russian company Scanfert LLC (OOO Scanfert), and has never been used for private purposes. Dr. Zaytseff offered to transfer access to the disputed domain name to the Complainant. The Center sent the possible settlement email to the Parties, to which the Complainant did not reply. The Respondent did not submit any formal response. Accordingly, the Center notified the Commencement of Panel Appointment Process on February 1, 2019.

The Center appointed Tobias Zuberbühler as the sole panelist in this matter on February 6, 2019. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. 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 provider of infertility treatments based in Finland. While the Complainant’s trade name Scanfert Oy was registered in Finland on February 10, 1993, the Complainant’s European Union trademark SCANFERT No. 017871377 was only registered on July 3, 2018.

The Complainant argues that it has been using the symbol SCANFERT in its business since the early 1990s and has presented evidence that it has expanded its activities to the Russian Federation and Portugal around the beginning of the 2000s. A company partially owned by the Complainant has been registered in the Russian Federation under the trade name Scanfert LLC (OOO Scanfert) on April 27, 2017.

The Respondent Scanfert Clinic is listed in the WhoIs data with the same address in St. Petersburg, Russian Federation as the Complainant’s Russian company Scanfert LLC.

The disputed domain name was registered on June 6, 2017 and is currently inactive. The Complainant has submitted evidence that the disputed domain name was resolving in October 2018 to a website promoting “AVA Clinic Scanfert” and displaying a Scanfert logo. In January 2019, the disputed domain name was apparently redirected to the website “”, which copied the AVA Clinic Scanfert website previously displayed under the disputed domain name. 5.
