Huh… I remember the same situation with MS. There were 4 domains registered by one guy (including microsoft.pl & microsoft.com.pl). The company was not interested in having them for 3 years. Suddenly they woke up and asked the owner to give the domains back for 0 (put any currency here). NASK (provider) took over those 2 domains and changed their owner to MS Corp without any permission from this guy who bought them. That case itself was very very long…

The iphone case is a bit different, as the domain had been registered for a long time before Apple even thought of their product.
The NASK case sounds a bit crazy! Most of the cctld registries wouldn’t be able to do that without following a proper process

Organization so large, but lacks common sense. Wish I had that domain. 😉
