If your the owner of a hot domain getting traffic and typeins from another brand, you have to walk a fine line with what you try to achieve. If you do want to sell it and get a payday, you have to play the negotiations right, because there is always the threat of them walking away and entering a UDRP proces. Lets say your too stubborn to know better and list your price at something incredibly high and unrealistic.
In order for them to win the domain in a dispute process, all they need to do is prove a few things:
(i) your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and
(ii) you have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
(iii) your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.

A panel of judges will go through the presented arguments and defense and award it to a winner. Of course, it will depend on each domain's individual circumstances, as well as what the current owner of the domain is using it for.

If someone has a patent and threatens to sue another company, they set the settling price at just below what it would take to fight it out in the court. Well the domain name holders are allowed to do it only once though.
