Something like that. While the link below isn't the official definition, it should
give you a few ideas how it goes:
Cybersquatting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quote:According to the U.S. federal law known as the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, cybersquatting is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad-faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. The cybersquatter then offers to sell the domain to the person or company who owns a trademark contained within the name at an inflated price.
