Both sides would be fare better off if they came to out of court agreement and sell domain to Nissan Motors.

1. This is not usual cybersquating, a legitimate, but far less popular business.

2. Given Nissan Motors financials, paying few mln USD is a drop in the bucket: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan

3. On the other hand that would be a lot of money for Uzi Nissan.

4. Spending 10+ years in court is counter-productive and probably already cost several times more in opportunity gains. Both sides losses. Business equivalent of prison dilemma: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma

5. Low-cost meditation. Send each party copy of book: http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Yes-Negotiating-Agreement-With...

Book a weekend trip to some luxurious place, where each party can get comfortable and try to strike a deal.

1. Of course it wasn't cyber squatting. Cyber squatting is unlawful in the U.S. and would have lead to a different outcome.

2. Why wasn't there a settlement? I assume either Mr. Nissan didn't want to sell the domains at any price (unlikely but possible) or insisted Nissan pay eleventy bajillion dollars for them, leaving Nissan with court as their best option.
