I imagine that ICANN will require UDRP policies in place to prevent that kind of stuff.

As of right now, if you have a registered mark (and possibly meet some other requirements, like presence) you can file a dispute with ICANN to push people off your domain. Just like I couldn't go register apple.com even if it did become available -- it's a registered mark of Apple Inc, so they could file a dispute to get it back. Unless I can prove an equal claim it's an open and shut case.
