In $2012,$ Todd Deason read an online article about a group of Vermont college students, including Tricia Tripp, who were hoping to raise funds on Kickstarter.com for an innovative computer game idea. The article noted that Soleil Warriors was a potential name for the game idea. Deason immediately registered two domain names, "soleilwarriors.com" and "soleilwarriors.net." In $2014,$ the students formally incorporated their business and began manufacturing their Soleil Warriors product, which had been been trademarked with the U$.$S$.$ Trademark and Patent Office. Deason contacted Tripp, now president of Soleil Warriors, Inc., and offered to sell her the two domain names for $$10,000.$ Instead of buying the domain names, Tripp filed a lawsuit against Deason, alleging cybersquatting.

Which party will most likely prevail in this lawsuit, and why?

Question $12$ options:

Deason, because he was the registered owner of the domain names and legally could sell them to whomever he wished

Tripp, because Deason knowingly registered the Soleil Warriors domain name for potential personal profit

Tripp, because Deason clearly violated the federal CAN$-$SPAM Act

Deason, because registering an identical trademark of another is not illegal
