You may, if you have the funds to do it, and more importantly assuming the previous owner (the auction site) has significant funds to go after, may be worth going after...

There was some discussion awhile back, I think it was here on DNF, about whether a previous registrant could potentially be held liable if the domain was later found to have TM problems ...

Anyways, I concur with others here ... get an experienced attorney involved ... obviously, first try to protect your asset, but if not possible (ie. the complainant's claim is very strong), then definitely consider going after the seller ... they likely are not as free and clear as they think ... you may not get far with that, but is an angle worth pursuing if nothing else.
