Factual Background

The Complainant is Sheryl Sandberg & Dave Goldberg Family Foundation, a not for profit corporation incorporated in the United States. A subsidiary of the Complainant, LeanIn.Org LLC, is a worldwide organization that helps people to achieve their goals. The Foundation and LeanIn.Org were created after the success of Sheryl Sandberg’s well known Ted Talk and book Lean In.

The Complainant owns a number of registered trade marks for LEAN IN, the earliest of which is United States registered trade mark number 4,902,173 registered on February 16, 2016 (the “Trade Mark”). The Complainant also owns a domain name incorporating the Trade Mark, being , which it registered on April 6, 2010.

The Respondent is Hecham Ghazal, an individual from Canada. The Disputed Domain Name was first registered on June 28, 2002. The Disputed Domain Name was transferred to LeanIn Inc., a business owned and operated by the Respondent, on July 28, 2010. The Disputed Domain Name was then transferred to the Respondent on June 24, 2015.

The Respondent has used the email address “[...]@” since July 28, 2010. The Disputed Domain Name does not currently resolve to an active website. 5. Parties’ Contentions A. Complainant

The Complainant makes the following submissions.

The Disputed Domain Name is identical to the Trade Mark as it incorporates the Trade Mark in its entirety. The addition of the generic Top-Level Domain (“gTLD”), “.com”, is irrelevant when determining whether a disputed domain name is confusingly similar to a protected mark.

The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the Disputed Domain Name. The Respondent does not have any license, authorization or consent from the Complainant to use the Trade Mark. The Respondent has no connection or affiliation with the Complainant or its subsidiary. Further, there is no evidence of the Respondent’s use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the Disputed Domain Name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods and services. The Respondent cannot establish any rights or legitimate interests by using the Disputed Domain Name as part of a personal email address.

The Respondent has registered the Disputed Domain Name in bad faith. The Disputed Domain Name was transferred to the Respondent in June 2015. By this time, the Complainant was well established and had a reputation in the Trade Mark. An Internet search would have revealed the Complainant’s business and the famous book by Sheryl Sandberg, Lean In. The Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, users to its website by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Trade M
