In Do The Hustle, LLC v. Tropic Web, D2000-0624 (WIPO, 2000), the panel found the domains confusingly similar but denied the complaint anyway, because the complainant could not prove bad faith. Dictionary-adjacent misspellings registered without any offer to sell the domains back were not enough on their own.
