The complainants argued that the domain name was identical to their trade name and CANNA trademark, asserting that it was registered and used in bad faith. However, the respondent did not reply to the complaint.

The WIPO panel, chaired by Wilson Pinheiro Jabur, found that the domain name was confusingly similar to the complainants’ trademark. It also found that the respondent had no rights or legitimate interests in the domain name and that it was registered and used in bad faith, particularly given its association with fraudulent activities. Consequently, the panel ordered the transfer of the domain name to the complainants on September 4, 2019​​.
