There is a official procedure that companies can use to dispute the domain name if you're trying to hustle them that costs them about $1000-2500. I forget what its called but if you look at past cases you'll see a lot of people trying to hustle corporations and the decisions handed down. I think if Bellog thinks they can win (very possible) they would price you according to that figure.

If, as the OP states, he's already been sued--and come out the other side unscathed, then he's in a far stronger bargaining position. And it suggests that there probably isn't a strong case to be made for the official procedures to be workable for them, and they may have already tried it and failed. I suspect they didn't sue first--that's a very big weapon to fire as an opening salvo. Though, I guess it does happen.
That's correct. My understanding is that the company has been unable to win in court.
