I am pretty sure in cases such as that, a company can claim it would have been their trademark. Similar to the way web domains are handled if you take one that could be used in advance.
I don't think so, according to the site the name was registered for years prior to 2000 when Cisco procured it. How can they then claim it would have been their's when it was already in use by Infogear prior to 2000 before being bought by Cisco, who by default then owned that name?

Sorry that won't hold, there is no way on this planet they will be given it.
