 | | The Complainant is Air Austral, of Sainte-Marie, Ile de la Réunion, France, represented by MEYER and Partenaires, France. |
 | | The Complainant is the proprietor of the French nominative trademark ‘AIR AUSTRAL’, registered with the Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle (INPI) under number 1 681 769, originally registered by Air France on November 15, 1990, and assigned to the Complainant by assignment dated August 13, 1991, and recorded with INPI on February 24, 1992. |
 | | Likewise, the absence of the ‘white space’ in between the words ‘air’ and ‘austral’ is of no consequence, given that the naming rules do not permit the use of such spaces in a second level domain name. |
