    It goes on all the time when it comes to internet domain names. In
    the early days of domain names "oportunistic entrepnuers" bought up
    common domain names and company names with the intent of selling them
    to whoever wanted to have a website with a specific domain name. Just
    watch when you let a domain name registration lapse. You will more
    than likely have to buy it back from someone who snapped it up and
    registered it. Also, have you ever miskeyed a common website name and
    found yourself in a completely different site? This is the internet
    entrepenuers trying to drum up business. 

    It's always best when you come up with a company name to go see if
    it is a registered domain name first, then register it with the
    state, and then file for copyright.
