:You are incorrect. As someone else said, you never trademarked your name, so you have no right to yourname.com. Secondly, you should have acted quicker, I happen to have myname.com hell I also have mywifesname.com (but she has of course changed it now that we are married)...
If the company had registered the domain to use it for something that would fall under fair use rights, then they may have a claim to registering a domain under another companies trademark.
This company, if you read the article, registered 900000 domains related to very large brand names, that shows bad faith and the intention to dilute those trademarks and to use them to make a profit (via advertising).
Anything else you would like to throw my way, I am having a ball shooting you down...
Trademarking means nothing for a web address. It is plain text domain name that anyone has the right to register. When it comes to domains, it is first come first serve. If Verizon wants those names then they should have to buy them from that company for at least what the company paid for them. In no way should that company have to pay Verizon for anything.
