There is no legitimate basis for this proceeding, and Complainant knew or should have known that before filing its Complaint. Given the lack of evidence, and conclusory allegations, it is clear that Complainant used this proceeding "as a means of exerting pressure unfairly on Respondent with a view to acquiring the Disputed Domain Name for itself." See Aqua Engineering & Equipment, Inc. v. Domain Administrator / Portmedia Holdings Ltd, FA 1785667 (Forum June 25, 2018) (finding RDNH). A finding of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking is therefore not only appropriate, but necessary to deter misuse of the Policy and to protect the integrity of this ADR system.
