I think I recall there being a process for ICANN at least, when someone has squatted on a copyrighted identifier. I could be completely wrong, but my memory on this is foggy. There's pages on ICANN's site about it, iirc.
In America, if you had a copyright on the identifier, or maybe in this case, a small business with your name in it, I believe you could make a claim against the domain.

- jnwatson 6y agoThat's not a bad idea. See a domain you want that's squatted? 1. Register a company and a trademark. 2. Make a UDRP claim. I didn't see anything in the UDRP that mentions that the trademark has to exist before the squatting. It seems like you can retroactively claim it.
