NAF Overview - Part 5

When trying to show the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interest in a domain name, your arguments should focus on the content of the website (if any) and help draw a conclusion that none of the following exist:
 
(1) Any preparations to use the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services prior to the dispute;
 
(2) Any indication that the Respondent has been commonly known by the domain name even if it has acquired no trademark rights; and
 
(3) Any legitimate non-commercial or fair use of the domain name without intent to divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark.
