Do you actually have any sources for this statement?
If company A registers a.com, but doesn't have "A" trademarked, that certainly doesn't mean B can come along years later, trademark "A", and then expect to have a.com handed over to them.
Now if the original A was a company that never really got off the ground, stopped company development, and had no plans for a.com anymore..... Well, that's a different story.
As long as you were using it first and have a current valid reason to be using it, the name is yours. Look at how many movies can't have moviename.com because it's already in use. Sure, they spend $50,000,000 making a movie, but can't get the domain name. There's a reason for that.
Also, go to Oasis.com or Disturbed.com and look what comes up. It's not the popular bands. And everyone knows how record companies are about copyrights.
