How much is it worth to you? The only way is to offer the new owner some money for it. Chances are since it is not developed, they will want to make a profit from selling it. That is the only way to get a hold of it for sure. Otherwise, you will have to wait till it expires and hope they do not renew it.

i dunno aswell how much it is worth to you, you may ask them for a price, and consider to register your name as trademark, costs 230$, that way they have to give it to you, dunno if its worth that much for you

The WHOIS shows no details except "on hold" but the domain is for sale at SEDO:
