Don't have much sympathy for this person but no company has any more right to a domain name than any of us and this sets a scary precedence.
The person who owns a trademark or copyright has a right to use that trademark and the onus to defend that trademark from other people using it. We used to allow anyone to call themselves anything they way, and it turned out badly.
