Based on the provided information, it appears that there is a dispute over the ownership and use of the domain name rocketlab.com.



The Respondent argues that they have a legitimate interest in using the domain name for their business activities, as well as for private non-commercial purposes, such as hosting a wedding website and a personal photo repository. The Respondent also claims that they did not register the domain name in bad faith and that Complainant should have been aware that the domain name was not available when they registered their trademark ROCKET LAB in 2018.

The Respondent further argues that the Complaint should be denied based on the equitable doctrine of laches, as Complainant waited until 2022 to take action to acquire the domain name. Finally, the Respondent accuses the Complainant of engaging in reverse domain-name hijacking, suggesting that the Complaint was brought in bad faith to harass the Respondent.

The findings indicate that Complainant has trademark registrations for the mark ROCKET LAB with the USPTO, which suggests that they have a legitimate claim to the name. However, the issue of whether the Respondent's use of the rocketlab.com domain name was in bad faith or constitutes legitimate fair use requires further investigation.

Similarly, the question of whether the Complaint was brought in bad faith or as an attempt at reverse domain-name hijacking also requires further examination.
