The Internet was designed to have no single point of failure. The same tactic can be applied to litigation problems in this case.
If the current owners of the domain wait a while until the agressor spends some money building a case with lawyers, and THEN assign the domain in dispute to a different (friendly) legal entity, (preferably in a different country) - the agressor is forced to start the legal process again. More costs.... and this process can be repeated ad-infinitum making it impossible to attack the effective control of a domain name.
It is using the age old legal tactic of separating ownership and control of something. If the effective control of something remains where you want, it is irrelevant who owns something.
