" despite the fact that Mr Ward was aware that the domain names in question were causing confusion, and aware that O2 Limited owned trade mark rights in relation to identical and/or similar trade marks, Mr Ward then arranged for additional domain names (and in particular 02Ireland.com and 02Ireland.co.uk to be registered on behalf of 02 Airwave Limited). This company was set up by Mr Ward in May 2004."
(ii) "O2 Limited believe that they have trade mark prior rights in relation to each of the relevant marks (and they submit that the alteration on an "O" for a "0" makes no difference, in view of the fact that consumers will often fail to acknowledge the difference between the letter O and the numeral 0)."
"If your clients wish to purchase the registrations and pay for the transfer then I would be prepared to consider any reasonable offer to achieve closure on this matter."
" The Complainant can demonstrate that the Respondent is engaged in a pattern of registrations where the Respondent is the registrant of domain names (under .uk or otherwise) which correspond to well known names or trade marks in which the Respondent has no apparent rights, and the Domain Name is part of that pattern;"
