I have a company. I’m not going to mention the name or the domain name in question, so we’ll just call it Abcd and abcd.com (The company name and domain are both four letters). The current owner(s) of that domain are not using the domain for anything. They have had a meaningless page up for years and it has not been updated. Are there any laws which would obligate them to hand over the domain or sell it to me since they are basically just sitting on it? I recall when Apple purchased iPhone.com, the previous owner needed to prove his intent to actually use the domain, in order for him to be able to actually negotiate with Apple for such a high price.
You would need to initiate your action with ICANN, the organization that governs domain names and disputes. I’ve linked the relevant policy document below.

A domain name is simply an address on the Internet. Rather than having to remember a difficult series of IP (Internet Protocol) numbers, by which computers know which individual web site is located where, (for example, 208.212.155.9), you can just type in a textual address, such as www.YourDomain.com

I would like to know if is it legal to buy certain web domans that include product names, companies or persons.
Examples:
www.iphonegames.com
www.sonycameras.com
www.youtubevideos.com
www.googleadsensetips.com
www.microsoftdrivers.com
www.angelinajoliefan.com
www.cristiano-ronaldo.com
www.microsoftsucks.com
www.paypalsucks.com
FBISecrets.com
CIASecretscom
FBI-Usa.com
What about the websites that are based on typos like: www.youtoube.com , www.yaho.com , www.panasoanic.com, www.disneysland.com and so on?
How do I know if I am allowed to create a domain that contains CIA, FBI, KGB, Iphone, Apple, MAC and other names in it?
Response to markysparky: I do not want to trademark other names, like in the case you presented! When that person trademarked 21 century fox, it wasn’t used by any company. I am talking about using names that are already trademarked, like Iphone, Apple, Coca-Cola, FBI, CIA… So could i make a website apple-store.com, drinkCoca-Cola.com, FBIrulz.com and others?
It’s not a matter of copyright; it’s a matter of trademark. If a name CONTAINS a trademark, you probably shouldn’t register it. If you registered www.microsoftsucks.com, Microsoft would most likely sue you for release of the domain, and they would most likely win. Typos are in a gray area, and it may depend on exactly what you register and how you use it. www.disneysland.com wouldn’t work because I believe "disney" alone is a trademark. You MIGHT get away with www.dissneyland.com, but some cases have successfully been brought against names that were intentionally used to cause confusion for unethical purposes (like phishing sites). There are trademark violations as well as "likeness" violations.
