"If a third party has already registered your desired domain name, showing that you have used that name as a business name or trade mark may give you grounds to claim that you have a legitimate interest in that domain name and that it should be transferred to you. These claims are resolved through administrative proceedings conducted through a dispute resolution provider."

Does anyone know if these rules are actually followed? Surely it would just be easier for a business to purchase a domain name from a domain trader who is charging a small mark-up, instead of going through administrative proceedings to recover the domain name.
Also do these rules apply in the US? I don't think they do.
