In the present case, Respondent asserts that « Girondins de Bordeaux » is the name of the French revolutionary movement that will be the subject of the cultural web site that she plans to launch.
Indeed, whereas Respondent is certainly entitled to devote a web site to the subject of the Girondins, she will be found to have a legitimate interest to use the terms « Girondins de Bordeaux » only if these terms correspond indeed to the name of the concerned political movement.
Since the revolutionary movement of the Girondins is not called « Girondins de Bordeaux », Respondent does not have a legitimate interest to use these exact terms to designate her website.
