Trademark infringement
Spiceboy,
I think the previous posters are confusing copyright and trademark law. Copyright concerns theft and misuse of an idea, whereas trademark infringement concerns misleading potential customers with "passing off" regarding the provenance of a product or service.
Under UK jurisdiction, if they are benificiaries in full knowledge of the infringement of your statutory rights under trademark law, Google and Yahoo would be guilty in aiding a "passing off" offence.
If what you saying about domain registration is correct, then your competitors are acting in a deliberate and systematic manner. They have very little defence.
