There's defintely precedent for this. The only person that successfully fended off a suit to drop a domain name was some guy who registered his actual name, and was sued by a company that had the same name. Damned if I can remember who it was.

My wife actually registered AFLACVA.com and squatted it, using it as a redirect to some of her other sites after she had a falling out with the company (she sold their insurance for a while) - AFLAC threatened to sue the host, and they shut the site down.
