This is an interesting case:

There is a law in the state of Virginia, which Bodog are citing, that states that domain names cannot be subject to seizure.

Nguyen went on to state that no-one could then subsequently use Bodog’s domain without infringing on their trademarks.

"If a court does not have the power to permit seizure of trademarks, it likewise should not have the power to seize or transfer domain names which contain those trademarks," Nguyen said.
