question Expired domain of someone's name or business?

[tritrain]

If a person buys an expired domain that is or was for a business, or a person, do they have claim to it?

I've already searched the Trademark Electronic Search System. Nothing was found.

What do you mean by “claim to it?”

As in it's still theirs legally. You know, squatting it.

Not exactly the same situation but useful background.
