Are you allowed to use company names in your domain name?
Is this illegal?

most companies will crack down on you.
Its copyright/trademark. so they have a right to keep those domains if they want to.

But what if the website was made well before the company TMed their product/name?

Can you give an example of this? I'm just curious to know what type of site you are speaking of.

If the name is trademarked, you will have no case regarding the timing of your website name. For example, your web site name may merely INCLUDE the company name and be unique in that regard, but if the company name has been trademarked and successfully passed through that process, the law says that the corporation owns the name.

I too would like to see an example of what you are talking about.
