There are definitely ways to claim domain names that should rightfully be yours. As one of the previous posters noted, there is a dispute process through ICANN. And if you do have a legit claim to a name its not a case where they'll always side with the party with the deepest pockets--one of the more notable cases of this sort involved a dispute between the World Wildlife Federation and the World Wrestling Federation over the rightful ownership of the "wwf.com" domain. The Wildlife Federation won the right to use the domain which is the primary reason why the wrestling organization changed their name to the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment).
