It depends if the term is a generic dictionary word or a made up brand name. It would be a lot harder to to defend Gooogle.com than Jobss.com

I think that you should get an attorney to advise you on what you should do.

I recommend Darren Spielman: http://www.defendmydomain.com/about-us/attorneys/

Rather humorous that the word misspell is one of the "100 most misspelled words".
