I recently bought a .com domain name which a large uk company use the .co.uk version of. I was suprised they hadnt registered both (or all extensions). I just wondered if there was any legal implications of doing this. The domain name isnt the company name - just a short phrase related to what they do.
 
legal notice

Then, just careful that the BIG company may use legal tactic ie threat letter or bring a dispute to the UDRP forum to force you to transfer domain names to them for free. One question here, why did you but those domain names? Do you by any chance has a strong connection to those terms? (if not, u r in great danger) Or you've been thinking of selling them for profit? In any case, I think u r qualified to be a cybersquatter (at least in definition they gave in the policy)

Good luck :)
