A trademark protects a given name being used for a particular type of business, and yes, it will cover domains being put to use in that type of business too. Trademarks are specific to a particular class or service of business, and they will carry a lot of weight in domain disputes. If you as a non-trademark holder put the domain into use and contravened the classes of the trademark, most of the time you wouldn't have a chance in any dispute.
