My competitor has purchased a domain name that is exactly the same name as my company and re-directs to their own website.

It is one of the new odd "XYZ.stuff" type of names but very relevant to what I do, I wanted to purchase but found out they have it.

I am not crying over this but would like to challenge if there is a way.

Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

How did you find out that a competitor has registered the name ?
Because it takes you straight to their website. Its a very small industry, they have clearly done it on purpose.

Happy to PM specific info just not on an open forum. Cheers.
