It is legal in most cases but if a big company with a lot of clout can prove that they have had their business name for a lot longer than internet existed, they can force the owner to give up the domain name.
Also if the domain name really is worth a lot to you, you can always negotiate with the owner and see if they are willing to part with it for a sum of money.
I almost manage to get swedecar.se when the former owner let it expire but someone else snagged it before me and it is now pointing toward just another info page.
