In general if you're using it for legit purposes it's hard to take a domain taken even for big brands. You have it first, and unless you're using it for a competitor or to defame them it's hard to claim malice. They should have checked the name was able for them to use before using it. But do make sure you have auto-renew setup etc. If you lose it, they can nab it fast and it'd be hard to get it back. |

Instead of auto-renew I register my domains for 10 years, and add an annual recurring event to my calendar to remind me to add another year.
That way I keep the expiration 9-10 years in the future so that if there is ever a big price increase and I need to move to a cheaper domain I've got a long time to make the move.
No need for auto-renew because there is no way that I'd manage to miss the calendar events enough years in a row to have the domains expire, and even if I did have auto-renew the on-file credit card information would be out of date when it is time to auto-renew.
