Our firm represents the French Company CONFORAMA HOLDING. This company
is a well-known French retailer of furnishings and home appliances.
Our client is in this respect the owner of trademarks “CONFORAMA” protected in
France and abroad, amongst others the Community trademark No 003829587.
Having strongly invested in the protection of the trademark “CONFORAMA”, our
client attaches the greatest attention to any unauthorized use of its well-known
trademark.
It has come to our client’s attention that you have registered the domain name
“conforama.cz”.
This domain name reproduces our client’s trademark rights “CONFORAMA”. Our
client considers therefore that the registration of the domain name “conforama.cz”
infringes its prior rights over its trademark “CONFORAMA” and its domain names,
for instance “conforama.com”. There indeed exists an obvious risk of confusion
between the signs.
Consequently, our client, wishing to settle amicably and quickly this litigation,
requests your company to:
1)
transfer, without delay and without any financial compensation, the domain
name “conforama.cz” in favour of the company CONFORAMA HOLDING;
2)
undertake, in writing, not to register anymore any domain name that is
confusingly similar to the sign “CONFORAMA”;
Due to the risk of confusion involved, the French Company CONFORAMA
HOLDING requests that you accomplish the above mentioned formalities at the
latest before June 22, 2011.
