I'm having issues with a couple of cybersquatters who have started camping out on other variations of my domain. Do I have any rights to get them back easily?

I'm not sure you'd exactly call it "easy", but the steps for dealing with domain trademark infringement are laid out pretty clearly by ICANN - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers in their Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy.

Generally, after you determine that you have superior rights to the alleged squatter and that the squatter does not have independent rights, I usually suggest a two stage approach: contacting the squatter and, if that is not productive, a UDRP filing. In comparison to full scale litigation, this process is very easy and economical. The key is to work with an attorney with experience in negotiating with squatters and winning UDRP cases.

How do you determine superior rights? I for instance had a domain, which expired without my knowledge and was taken by a squatter. I never trademarked this domain or anything but I did have it for nearly 10 years prior and have since had to go around the web kindly requesting removal of this URL from various places.
