Policy), and the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (ICANN Rules),
adopted by ICANN on August 26, 1999 and approved by ICANN on October 24, 1999, and the
National Arbitration Forum (NAF) Supplemental Rules (Supp. Rules). ICANN Rule 3(b)(i).
The Complainant’s preferred method for communications directed to the Complainant in the

Electronic-Only Material
[a.] Method: [e-mail]]
[b.] Address: [info@deacom.net]
[c.] Contact: [Susan Shaw]
The Complainant chooses to have this dispute heard before a [single-member administrative
panel]. ICANN Rule 3(b)(iv).
[If Complainant elects to have this dispute heard before a three-member panel, provide the
names and contact details of three candidates from any ICANN-approved Provider’s list of
panelists to serve as one of the panelists.] ICANN Rule 3(b)(iv).
[In this section, please include any arguments you are making with respect to Forum
Supplemental Rule 1(d)].
[a.] The following domain name(s) is/are the subject of this Complaint: ICANN Rule
3(b)(vi).
[deacom.com]
This Complaint is based on the following factual and legal grounds: ICANN Rule
3(b)(ix). The analysis in this section may require more space than provided, but the
entire Complaint shall not exceed fifteen (15) pages. NAF Supp. Rule 4(a).
[a.] [The domain name is identical to the DEACOM trademark in which Deacom, Inc.
has rights. Deacom, Inc. is privately held provider of enterprise software and has
been using the DEACOM trademark in commerce since 1995. Deacom, Inc. filed
for the registration of the DEACOM trademark with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office on March 8, 2006 and the trademark was officially registered
with the USPTO on January 23, 2007 (see documentary evidence B. per the Table
of Contents).] ICANN Rule 3(b)(ix)(1); ICANN Policy ¶ 4(a)(i).
[b.] [The Respondent has no legitimate interest in respect of the domain name, as the
domain is not being used in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or
services. The Respondent has no license or agreement to use the DEACOM mark,
the WHOIS information for deacom.com is listed as of 02/09/2009 as Domain
Discreet ATTN: deacom.com Avenida do Infante 50 Funchal, Madeira 9004-521
PT (see documentary evidence A. per the Table of Contents), and does not identify
the Respondent as being commonly known by the disputed domain name, and the
deacom.com website itself does not identify the Respondent as having any
association with the disputed domain name. The Respondent was not using the
disputed domain name for any bona fide offering of goods or services nor a
legitimate noncommercial or fair use, as evidenced by the disputed domain
name’s current inability to resolve to a website. Internet users who attempt to
access the domain name receive a “404” error message (see documentary
evidence D. per the Table of Contents)]. ICANN Rule 3(b)(ix)(2); ICANN Policy
¶ 4(a)(ii).
[The Panel may consider any relevant aspects included in, but not limited to
ICANN Policy ¶ 4(c):
(i.) Whether, before any notice to the Respondent of the dispute, Respondent’s
use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name
corresponding to the domain name is in connection with a bona fide offering of
goods or services; or
[c.] [The Respondent is currently not making fair use of the domain name, as the
disputed domain name fails to resolve to a website, and Internet users who
attempt to access the domain name receive a “404” error message (see
documentary evidence D. per the Table of Contents).] ICANN Rule 3(b)(ix)(3);
ICANN Policy ¶ 4(a)(iii).
[The Panel may consider any relevant aspects included in, but not limited to
ICANN Policy ¶ 4(b):
(ii.) Whether Respondent has registered the domain name in order to prevent
the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a
corresponding domain name, provided that Respondent has engaged in a pattern
of such conduct; or
(iii.) Whether Respondent has registered the domain name primarily for the
purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or
The Complainant requests that the Panel issue a decision that the domain-name registration be
[transferred] ICANN Rule 3(b)(x); ICANN Policy ¶ 4(i).
[To the best knowledge of the complainant, there are no other legal proceedings that have been
commenced or terminated in connection with or relating to deacom.com, that which is the
subject of this complaint.] ICANN Rule 3(b)(xi).
The Complainant asserts that a copy of this Complaint, together with the cover sheet as
prescribed by NAF’s Supplemental Rules, has been sent or transmitted to the Respondent
(domain-name holder), in accordance with ICANN Rule 2(b) and to the Registrar(s) of the
domain name(s), in accordance with NAF Supp. Rule 4(e). ICANN Rule 3(b)(xii); NAF Supp.
Rule 4(c).
The Complainant will submit, with respect to any challenges to a decision in the administrative
proceeding canceling or transferring the domain name, to [the Commonwealth of New York, as
the location of the Registrar where the domain name is registered.] ICANN Rule 3(b)(xiii).
[10.] CERTIFICATION
Complainant agrees that its claims and remedies concerning the registration of the domain name,
the dispute, or the dispute’s resolution shall be solely against the domain-name holder and
waives all such claims and remedies against (a) the National Arbitration Forum and panelists,
except in the case of deliberate wrongdoing, (b) the registrar, (c) the registry administrator, and
(d) the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, as well as their directors,
officers, employees, and agents.
Complainant certifies that the information contained in this Complaint is to the best of
Complaint's knowledge complete and accurate, that this Complaint is not being presented for any
improper purpose, such as to harass, and that the assertions in this Complaint are warranted
under these Rules and under applicable law, as it now exists or as it may be extended by a good-
faith and reasonable argument.
