Not that simple.
Judges in the US are starting to curb the reach of trademarks with respect to domain names. Too many fuckwits and assholes trying to use trademarks to sue just about anyone for anything.
For a domain hijacking alone you would have to pay the flopdicks at ICANN $1000 just to get the ball rolling for a UDRP.
And if someone does fuck with your registered trademark and you don't have the resources for footing a 5-6 figure legal bill you could loose the mark because you allowed it to be diluted.
