III.       Response to Statements and Allegations Made in Complaint

 

[5.]    This Response contests the ŇSummary of partiesÓ provided by the Complainant and furthermore calls into question the extent to which the public may trust the Complainant to accurately and fully represent its business practices on its Web site. The Respondent requests that the panel take into account the following additions during the proceedings.

 

[6.]    Established in 1953, Burson-Marsteller, LLC (The ŇComplainantÓ), to the extent that it and its trademark, ŇBurson-MarstellerÓ (the ŇTrademarkÓ) are commonly known outside of the public relations and advertising industries, has a well-documented public reputation for its unethical business practices, including for purposes of these proceedings but not limited to, working for repressive political regimes, organizing consumer-front groups to create the appearance of public support for harmful consumer products and unsustainable environmental practices, minimizing public knowledge of critical consumer and labor issues, exercising corporate influence over media outlets, and spying on and harassing political activists as noted by the Center for Media & Democracy in the 1995 book, Toxic Sludge is Good for You (see Annexes 10, 12, 13, and 14).

 

[7.]    The Respondent, Dexter L. Smith, is a resident of the State of New York and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and owner of a cellular telephone purchased in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

[8.]    The Respondent hereby responds to the statements and allegations in the Complaint and respectfully requests the Administrative Panel to deny the remedies requested by the Complainant, calling specific attention to the bases upon which the Complainant formulates the argument before the panel, and highlighting the importance of this dispute in securing the right to freely distribute and properly associate with a trademark and the business practices of the trademark holder educational material which is in the public interest and relevant to the well being of citizens of the World Intellectual Property OrganizationŐs (the ŇWIPOÓ) member states.

 

A.      The Domain is not Ňconfusingly similarÓ to the Trademark, nor has the Respondent infringed upon the intellectual property rights of the Complainant as alleged in the Complaint;

 

[9.]    In DLJ Long Term Investment Corporation v. Nucom Domain Name Brokers (before the National Arbitration Forum), the Respondent specifically noted that the addition of a single character to the ComplainantŐs domain, <bm.com>, would significantly change the nature of the mark. RespondentŐs domain similarly subtracts a single character from another domain owned by the Complainant, <burson-marsteller.com>. Furthermore, respondent offers evidence contrary to the allegations made in Paragraph 13 of the Complaint, which state, ŇÉa substantial degree of goodwill is associated with [the Trademark]ÉÓ in Annex 13, including a newspaper headline in which the Complainant is characterized as Ňthe Devil.Ó Respondent provides for the CenterŐs convenience in Annex 5 evidence that while the Complainant owns the mark ŇBURSON-MARSTELLER,Ó it does not own the mark, ŇBURSONMARSTELLER.Ó

 

[10.]  Respondent denies that the Domain is Ňconfusingly similarÓ to the Trademark. In Paragraph 14 of the Complaint, Complainant incorrectly interprets Paragraph 3(b)(ix)(1) of the Rules, alleging bad faith use as evidence of a similarity between the ComplainantŐs trademark and the Domain. Respondent notes that burden of proof is similarly conflated in Document Technologies, Inc. v. International Electronic Communications Inc. (D2000-0270), in which the panelist states, ŇSuch an approach is not supported by the clear wording of the Policy, which separates the requirements in Paragraph 4(a) into three distinct elements, and provides separate examples (Paragraphs 4(b) and 4(c)) of how to satisfy the second and third factors.Ó A rebuttal of these and other allegations of bad faith is provided appropriately in Paragraph 20 of this response.

 

B.      The Respondent has legitimate interests in the Domain and has demonstrated good faith use of the Domain;

           

[11.]  On July 14, 2002 the Respondent, legal owner and master of one domestic canine, approximately one year of age, given on its date of birth the name ŇBursonÓ after New York City-based artist Nancy Burson, in private consultation with the RespondentŐs spouse, Cynthia Smith-Stackhouse, legal owner and master of two domestic canines, named ŇWestinghouseÓ and ŇMarsteller,Ó respectively, registered in good faith the Domain, with the intention to create a Web site displaying photos of the aforementioned animals for friends and family members. The Respondent denies any knowledge of the Trademark or of Burson-Marsteller, LLC, prior to the registration of the Domain, noting that the ComplainantŐs practice, by design (as it was formerly described by the Complainant, ŇPerceptions Management,Ó see Annex 12), is not commonly known outside of the public relations and advertising industries. On or shortly after July 17, 2002, and ending on November 18, 2002, Respondent did begin, after obtaining information from colleagues about Burson-Marsteller, LLC and its business practices while contacting local colleges and universities to obtain free web hosting, using a preexisting software program (the ŇSoftwareÓ, see Annex 2), with free hosting services provided by the Yurt Media Center at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA, for purposes wholly educational and not for profit and acting on behalf of the best interests of the Complainant and general public and in good faith, providing to visitors of the Domain a mediated viewing experience of the ComplainantŐs Web site as shown in Annex 8 of the Complaint.

 

[12.]  Annex 6 to this response indicates that the Domain was in fact owned and used in 2001 by a party other than the Complainant or the Respondent, establishing a pattern of non-ownership of the Domain by the Complainant.

 

[13.]  In Paragraph 15 of the Complaint, Complainant alleges that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name because the ŇDomain Name is being used in a confusing and deceptive manner to mislead Internet users searching for Burson-MarstellerŐs web site into believing that Respondent is somehow affiliated with Burson-MarstellerÉÓ when by ComplainantŐs own demonstration, content displayed at the Domain prior to November 18, 2002, as described in Paragraph 15 of this response, was in fact redirected from ComplainantŐs own site. Far from misleading users, Respondent was actually providing Complainant with further (and more clearly understandable) display of <bm.com> than previously existed when the Domain was unregistered or was registered to the parties shown in Annex 6; Internet users searching for ComplainantŐs Web site and arriving at the Domain did in fact see ComplainantŐs Web site. Respondent did not act in a manner that is consistent with ComplainantŐs description of RespondentŐs Web site, nor would Internet users have reason to believe the Respondent is affiliated with the Complainant as such.

 

[14.]  On November, 18, 2002, the Respondent replaced the contents of the Web site displayed at the Domain with a message that clearly indicates the third-party nature of the site and RespondentŐs intention to provide in information about Burson-Marsteller, and, as an act of good faith, provides a clearly labeled hyperlink to the Web site of the Complainant, to remain online for the duration of the proceedings, accompanied by a recommendation that visitors contact the Complainant directly with inquires regarding its products and services (see Annex 10). RespondentŐs current Web site additionally contains factual information and resources related to the ComplainantŐs business practices, including a list of the ComplainantŐs current and former clients, such as the Complainant has failed to do on its own, despite its efforts at Ňbeing accountableÓ (see Annex 11(b)). The Complaint alleges that the ŇDomain Name is not being used in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services;Ó however, Domain is currently being used to offer in good faith a valuable public information service.

 

[15.]  The ComplainantŐs self stated goal is ŇÉto ensure that the perceptions which surround our clients and influence their stakeholders are consistent with realityÉÓ (see Annex 11). Further to this goal, Respondent has a Ňlegitimate interest in the DomainÓ where the Domain has been used to facilitate the ComplainantŐs own representation of its brand by coordinating the presentation of Web pages via intelligent dynamic filtering techniques which simplify language and, as shown in the Complaint, more accurately represent the business of the Complainant than the Complainant has done itself (examples, see Annex 12), thus increasing both the accountability of the ComplainantŐs actions to the public and the quality and volume of the ComplainantŐs business, and where the domain has and will be used to distribute publicly available academic and journalistic materials about Burson-MarstellerŐs involvement with and relationship to, for example, Philip Morris and the National SmokerŐs Alliance, a consumer front group designed to create the appearance of public support for big-tobacco policies (see Annex 14), Union Carbide and the deaths of 20,000 people following the 1988 disaster in Bhopal, and political regimes such as that of Romanian dictator Nicole Ceaucescu and more recently Saudia Arabia following the events of September 11, and to properly associate them with the relevant Trademark so that they may be understood accordingly by Internet users.

 

C.         The Domain was not registered in bad faith, nor has it or is it being used in bad faith;

 

[16.]  The Respondent registered the Domain in good faith, as described in Paragraph 11 of this response. The Respondent has received no contact whatsoever from the Complainant regarding the use of the Domain prior to the filing of the Complaint, nor has the Respondent contacted or intended to contact the Complainant to offer the domain for sale. The Domain has never generated revenue for the Respondent, nor has the Respondent demonstrated intent to use the Domain for commercial activities, nor has the Complainant demonstrated how the Respondent might benefit financially from the use of the Domain. The Complainant has failed to provide evidence that the Domain was previously owned by the Complainant prior to 2001, and provides only anecdotal evidence in the matter of the ComplainantŐs miscommunication with its former registrar as a basis for the ComplainantŐs claim to the Domain. Therefore, the RespondentŐs actions have not prevented the Complainant from continued use of the Trademark in a manner that is consistent with a documented preexisting ownership of the Domain by the Complainant, or a legal extension of the Trademark to instances of the mark that omit the Ň-Ň symbol, as is the alleged instance of the Trademark in the Domain.

 

[17.]  In cases such as Telaxis Communications Corp. v. William E. Minkle (D-2000-0005), the Center has upheld the distinction between bad faith registration and bad faith use, requiring that the Complainant demonstrate both bad faith registration and bad faith use, in accordance with Paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy, which states, Ňyour domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.Ó In Vanguard Medica Limited v. Theo McCormick (D2000-0067), the panelist upheld good faith registration of a domain identical to that of a trademark, despite failure to post content to the contested domain consistent with intended use at the time of good faith registration, and further noted that Ňsuspicion aloneÉ cannot suffice to prove that Respondent is acting in bad faith.Ó The Complainant engages in such suspicion when it infers a relationship between the Respondent and the organization ŇRTMARKÓ, when it describes a server error as evidence of for-profit and when it characterizes the RespondentŐs actions as Ňdisruptive.Ó

 

[18.]  Respondent denies relationship to the entity ŇRTMARK,Ó and to any materials, actions, Web sites, or endorsements, express or implied, of that entity. Countless organizations and individuals (ŇOnline EntitiesÓ), such as Yahoo!, offer persons wholly unaffiliated with the Online Entity itself, without express or implied relationship therein, free email services, including for technical reasons, email addresses that contain the mark of the Online Entity or of Web sites belonging to the Online Entity, and henceforth grant the user of such services the right to bear publicly the email address, containing the mark, and to associate oneself with that email address for purposes concurrent with those outlined in the Online EntityŐs Service Agreement or similar document, or for no prespecified purposes should the Online Entity chose not to require the user to comply with such an agreement. Such services are offered only because it is commonly understood that, while frequently used to denote a relationship between an individual and an Online Entity, an email address is neither a guarantee nor evidence of a relationship between the individual associated with the email address and the Online Entity or its business. The Respondent therefore respectfully requests that Annex 9 of the Complaint, which allegedly demonstrates illegal activity sponsored by the entity ŇRTMARKÓ, and corresponding portions of Paragraph 17 of the ComplainantŐs filing be deemed irrelevant and stricken from the proceedings.

 

[19.]  In Paragraph 17 of the Complaint, the Complainant continues to infer from the RespondentŐs alleged relationship with the entity ŇRTMARKÓ, that the Respondent is Ňmasking its true identity in this case,Ó without providing any evidence whatsoever, factual or otherwise, to substantiate this claim. This inference is then used to assert the Ňlogical assumptionÓ that the Respondent has engaged in a pattern of conduct similar to that alleged in Paragraph 17 of the complaint. The Respondent denies having engaged in misleading conduct with respect to its identity or engaging in a pattern of conduct alleged by the Complaint. Furthermore, the Respondent requests that the Center note the misleading nature of these allegations and reconsider the basis for the Complaint with respect to the ComplainantŐs use of conjecture to preemptively discredit the Response contained herein. Complainant has failed to show that Respondent registered the domain to prevent Complainant from reflecting the Trademark, and that Respondent has engaged in a pattern of similar conduct as required by Paragraph 4(b)(ii) of the Policy.

 

[20.]  Complainant alleges bad faith use based on the Ňchanging natureÓ of RespondentŐs Web site. During dates in October, 2002, for reasons as yet to be determined and due to a misconfiguration of the Apache software used to host RespondentŐs Web site, the Domain accidentally displayed a Web page belonging to the organization providing free Web hosting to the Respondent (see Annex 7). For purposes of the proceedings, the Yurt Media Center (the ŇYurtÓ) is a higher education student campus organization and student building associated with Hampshire College (the ŇCollegeÓ) and operating on the campus of that educational institution which is located in Amherst, MA, and providing to students of the College a number of services, including but not limited to, access to recording equipment, various Web services, free rental of audio equipment, etc. The Yurt is funded entirely by the College and is neither a for-profit organization, nor does produce or provide any commodities or services that could logistically be sold, especially on the Internet, nor is it clear, given the nature of the organization, what profits could be derived from such a practice. It is further unclear what material on the YurtŐs Web site (ŇThe Yurt Media Center Internet Website HomepageÓ, see Annexes 8(a) and 8(d)) prompted the Complainant to infer in Paragraph 14 of the Complaint, that Ňthis version of the web site may have been established by Respondent for financial gain in connection with downloading various media.Ó Complainant fails to explain what benefit Respondent would gain from the purposeful temporary display of the Yurt Web page, or in what way the Yurt and Burson-Marsteller, LLC might be considered competitors as such. In addition, if the Center were to rule that technical misconfiguration constitutes bad faith use, thousands of everyday errors could be defined as bad faith.

        

[21.]  Complainant alleges that RespondentŐs past use of the Domain is not a fair use exception of copyright infringement, therefore alleging infringement in the matter of the copying and display of content owned by the Complainant by the Respondent. However, the software used by the Respondent as shown in Annex 2 merely redirected requests for files on the Web site of the Respondent, such as <index.html>, to derivatives of corresponding files on the Web site of the Complainant, <bm.com>, generated dynamically at the time of the user request and identical to the originating files except where phrases had been substituted by the Software for simpler and more transparent phrases. Furthermore, had Respondent used ComplainantŐs copyrighted works in a manner consistent with infringement as defined by United States Copyright Law of 1976, such use would certainly be a fair use as protected by Title 17, Section 107 of that law, which states, Ňthe fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.Ó The RespondentŐs alleged ŇuseÓ of the copyrighted work is consistent with the values of criticism, comment, and education.

 

[22.]  The Respondent, having not engaged in bad faith practices as defined by the Policy, and noting that the Complainant has few legitimate claims to Ňpublic trustÓ given the evidence before the panel, nor should a measure of public trust garnered by the Complainant be reasonably considered Ňhard-earnedÓ or Ňwell-deservedÓ with respect to the nature of the ComplainantŐs business practices, discussed briefly in Paragraph 15 of this response and extensively in the documents available on the RespondentŐs current Web site, as alleged in Paragraph 18 of the Complaint, and working in the interest of the ComplainantŐs self defined mission (see Annex 11), denies Ňtaking advantageÓ of the Complainant as such.

IV.  Administrative Panel

 

[23.]  The Respondent supports the ComplainantŐs election to have the dispute decided by a single-member Administrative Panel.

 

VI.  Communications

 

[24.]  A copy of this Response has been sent or transmitted to the ComplainantŐs authorized representative on November 27, 2002, by postal mail and e-mail.

 

[25.]  This Response is submitted to the Center in electronic form and in four (4) sets together with the original.

 

VII.  Payment

 

[26.]  The Respondent notes the ComplainantŐs payment, as required by the Rules and Supplemental Rules, in the amount of USD $1,500, by check, via Federal Express, to the World Intellectual Property Organization.

 

VIII.  Certification

 

[27.]  The Respondent agrees that, except in respect of deliberate wrongdoing, an Administrative Panel, the World Intellectual Property Organization and the Center shall not be liable for any act or omission in connection with the administrative proceeding.

 

[28.]  The Respondent certifies that the information contained in this Response is to the best of the RespondentŐs knowledge complete and accurate, that this Response is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, and that the assertions in this Response are warranted under the Rules and under applicable law, as it now exists or as it may be extended by a good-faith and reasonable argument.

 

 

 

 

 

Respectfully submitted,
