passive holding) could represent bad faith use of a domain name under certain circumstances.� The decision noted that the determination as to what circumstances constituted "certain circumstances" worthy of a bad faith determination would be fact specific to each case.� In Telstra, some of the particular circumstances leading to a finding of bad faith included: (1) complainant's mark had a strong reputation and was widely known; (2) respondent failed to show any evidence of actual or contemplated good faith use by it of the domain name; and (3) it was impossible to conceive of any plausible actual or contemplated active use of the domain name by respondent that would not be illegitimate, such as being a passing off, an infringement of consumer protection legislation, or trademark infringement.� Such factors are present in the case at hand.� As set forth in detail above, Complainant's CIALIS mark has a strong reputation and is widely known throughout the world.� In addition, Respondents have no apparent rights or legitimate interest in the Domain Names.� As described above, Respondents are using Complainant's CIALIS trademark in other domain names to attract Internet consumers to its websites, which are online pharmacies advertising and selling counterfeit versions of Complainant�s CIALIS brand product in violation of Complainant�s intellectual property rights and various national laws concerning the sale of pharmaceuticals.� With respect to the few �inactive� Domain Names, there is no plausible use of the associated websites by Respondents that would not be illegitimate.� Respondents� registration of multiple domain names which incorporate Complainant's distinctive CIALIS mark further demonstrates Respondents� improper conduct.� In light of these factors, Respondents' "passive holding" of some of the Domain Names amounts to use in bad faith. Moreover, as previous Panels have held, "rights or legitimate interests cannot be created where the user of the domain name at issue would not choose such a name unless he was seeking to create an impression of association with the complainant."
