I assume you mean registering a web address of a company, just to keep them
from registering it or to try and make them pay you for it?
Check NetworkSolutions "domain name dispute" policies.
InterNIC has a pretty good policy, actually. If someone registers a name
with is copyrighted, trademarked, or is clearly only valuable because it is
familiar to a registered trademark of copyright, they are in violation and
the domain name can be taken away from them and awared to the rightful owner
via arbitration.
To avoid having a domain name taken away they must prove either that they
have made a good-faith effort to build a destinctive trademark of brand
which does not impede upon a pre-existing copyright, and that the name was
not registered for the sole purpose of keeping someone from rightfully
registering it.
Is that what you meant?
