It may have been "used" in bad faith by parking the domain name and displaying ads, but that's only half of the equation. The complainant must show both that the domain name was "registered and used" in bad faith. For the "registration" prong, I would have argued that Respondent did not have Complainant's trademark in mind when he purchased the domain name. Additionally, I would have argued that Complainant waited too long to complain. Both arguments worked when I defended one of my companies against an UDRP filed by a California state agency.
