Company and occupied domain name

Greetings, Comrades!
There was a question concerning repurchase of the domain. Perhaps someone has come across something similar.
For example, there is a company with the name "Example" and has been around for 12 years. And now this company wanted to deploy a website and, accordingly, went to nic.ru to check if the domain name privet.ru was taken (for example).
This name is, of course, busy, because has a meaningful meaning of the word, and not just a set of letters, but at this address the site does not open for a long time. Those. name bought apparently for auction. Trying to get in touch with the owner of the domain was unsuccessful - in response, silence.
So, in connection with this, the question is, does this company have the right to take this name in the zone of the Republic of Uzbekistan through the court, since it is a registered trademark?

Remember marker.ru/news/521620 about windows.ru

Do you have the name "Example" officially registered? If yes, and if it was registered before the domain was purchased, try contacting the registrar.

The domain needs to be renewed in a year, when it is in hold - try contacting the registrar again

If the domain was registered a long time ago and its data status is not verified, then you can write to the registrar, they are quite strict about not verified domains if the owner does not get in touch, even if they are not delegated (they stepped on this rake personally).

I once discussed a similar situation with the owner of sonymusic.ru (now there is real sony music there, but before there were “pirates”). sony music refused to buy the domain for $10k and decided they would go to court. how it all happened, I don't know, but now the real sony music is on the domain. which is funny: the previous owner, immediately after contacting him about buying the domain, removed all materials related to illegal musical production.

Well, yes, that's exactly what we're talking about. Would it be appropriate to go there with a similar claim. I thought maybe someone who personally encountered will advise on a personal example.

Recently, I had an interest in the site.ru domain. 15 million websites link to it. It turns out just a sweet pretzel, the author sells it for 6 million rubles. Whatever there were no questions, the author on the main page brought AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. It turns out the site works and is regularly extended.
Yes, at the expense of privet.ru and other sweet names: RU-CENTER will not let you buy it, even if the author does not renew it. It will be put up for auction. On the site: auction.nic.ru/ thousands of people licking their lips waiting for the release of sweet names, and all because regularly every year once big players leave the game, leaving sites with 500-1000 TICs. Fuh-h-h... like everything said.

Write the domain name in private, my friend has about 10 thousand domains with good names. Maybe yours will be among them, although it is unlikely.

but the site does not open at this address for a long time. Those. name bought apparently for auction .
Oh, not a fact - since ancient times (well, relatively - 2003-2004) I have had a couple of interesting domains (.ru with 4 letters each). I took it for my projects, and then somehow everything was not up to them and I began to use these domains for e-mail. Through the web, you won’t go to them at all (didn’t connect to the hosting), write an email if you don’t know the anti-spam suffixes that I use, it’s not possible. The advance payment from the registrar is enough for auto-renewal for another 10 years.
You can try to score through the court, if only the word was invented by you. If common - you can only prohibit use in the same area in which you registered this word as a trademark.
And the very fact that they don’t answer you is very indicative - if it were for sale, they would answer quickly.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
