The short answer is No

Many things contribute to trademark cases in domain arbitration.

If you register the domain before the trademark is registered, that will be used in your defense if you are litigated against.

You will find that this will invalidate many of the Bad Faith accusations that may be brought against you under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy. For instance, if you register the domain before the trademark, you can not be said to have registered it in order to sell it to the trademark owner, etc.
