The Domain Name <scaniacv.se> was according to the registration information disclosed by The Swedish

Internet Foundation created on May 13, 2025 by the Domain Holder.

5. Claim

The Domain Name shall be transferred to the Petitioner.

6. Parties’ Contentions

A. Petitioner

The Domain Name is identical to the Petitioner’s company name, Scania CV AB, registered in Sweden in
1962. The Domain Name is also similar to the Petitioner's Swedish trademark registration for SCANIA.

The Petitioner and its SCANIA trademark are known internationally, with trademark registrations across numerous countries, including Sweden. The Petitioner has marketed and sold its goods and services using this trademark since 1911 before the Domain Holder’s registration of the Domain Name on May 13, 2025.

By registering a domain name that fully incorporates the Petitioner’s SCANIA trademark and Scania CV AB company name, the Domain Holder has demonstrated a knowledge of and familiarity with the Petitioner’s brand and business. The fact that the Domain Holder later used the Domain Name to fraudulently register commercial accounts in the name of the Petitioner’s company provides evidence of the latter.

The Domain Holder has registered and used the Domain Name solely to impersonate the Petitioner for phishing purposes. The Domain Holder created a fraudulent account with ICA Gruppen, a grocery retailer in Sweden, using the Petitioner’s company name and the email address “[…]@scaniacv.se” with the extension comprised of the Domain Name. The Domain Holder’s efforts to masquerade as the Petitioner certainly constitutes a fraud and must be considered bad faith registration and use of the Domain Name.

The Petitioner has not found that the Domain Holder has any registered trademarks or trade names corresponding to the Domain Name. Further, the Petitioner has not found anything that would suggest that the Domain Holder has been using SCANIA in any other way that would provide legitimate rights in the Domain Name.

B. Domain Holder

The Domain Holder has not submitted any response.

7. Discussion and Findings

A. The Domain Name is identical or similar to a name which is legally recognized in Sweden and to which the Petitioner can prove its rights

The Petitioner has presented a registration certificate from the Swedish Company Registration Office including that the company name “Scania CV Aktiebolag” was registered in 1994. The Petitioner has thus proven that it holds an entitlement as defined in Paragraph 7.2 of the .se Policy, i.e., that the Domain Name is similar or identical to the Petitioner’s registered right in Sweden.

B. The Domain Name has been registered or used in bad faith

The Arbitrator finds no indication on the record that might rebut the Petitioner’s claims, i.e., the Domain
Name has been registered and used in bad faith by the Domain Holder.

Domain Name.
