Using the UDRP to try to regain a hijacked name is a gamble. But there are at
least 2 cases of such:

But the complainant still has to meet and prove all 3 requirements.
Jberryhill has tried getting one registrar to use the so-called Transfer Dispute
Policy from ICANN's transfer rules. But even that's not having much positive
results because of the registrar itself.
