You can register as long as its free. When registering also look for other domain names that suit your business to avoid them falling to competitors. The only time you can seek legal redress is if the other business is local and is passing off as you. If they are targeting your clients and misleading them to believe they are dealing with you. You operate in the the same region and you need prove to have lost business due to that persons activity.
