  Trademark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A registered trademark confers a bundle of exclusive rights upon the registered owner, including the right to exclusive use of the mark in relation to the products or services for which it is registered.
The proper use of a trademark means using the mark as an adjective, not as a noun or a verb [3] [4] [5], though for certain trademarks, use as nouns and, less commonly, verbs is common.
A trademark owner also uses trademark law to prevent unauthorised third party use of a mark which is identical to the owner’s mark, or which is so similar that use of the other party’s mark would result in a likelihood of confusion.

If they have not trademarked, but they used the name first and they use the name nationally and pervasively, then you are probably still out of luck depending on the scope of their use.
However, if they only use the trademark on a local basis, then you may be able to register the trademark federally and use it in those areas where they do not and have not used it before.
However, if the company is no longer using the trademark and has not been using the trademark for a substantial period of time (generally 2-3 years) then you may be able to successfully challenge their mark in court.

 LII: Law about...Trademark
Trademarks are generally distinctive symbols, pictures, or words that sellers affix to distinguish and identify the origin of their products.
It is also possible to receive trademark status for identification that is not on its face distinct or unique but which has developed a secondary meaning over time that identifies it with the product or seller.
If the trademark is initially, approved by an examiner, it is published in the Official Gazette of the Trademark Office to notify other parties of the pending approval so that it may be opposed.

A trademark is anything that is used, or intended to be used, to identify the goods of one manufacturer from the goods of others.
Trademarks are important business tools because they allow companies to establish their product's reputation without having to worry that an inferior product will diminish their reputation or profit by deceiving the consumer.
A service mark is very similar to a trademark, except that it is used to distinguish services in the stream of commerce.

 Scientology objects to "ScienTOMogy" -- Chilling Effects Clearinghouse
Answer: Federal registration of a trademark has several advantages including notice to the public of the registrant's claim of ownership of the mark, a legal presumption of ownership nationwide, and the exclusive right to use the mark on or in connection with the goods or services set forth in the registration.
Answer: Trademark "tarnishment," a kind of dilution, can occur if a non-owner uses the mark in connection with shoddy or unsavory products or services, illegal activity, or activity that is likely to offend the average person.
For example, using a Walt Disney trademark on a website filled with pornography could be claimed to tarnish the reputation of the Disney mark in the minds of viewers who saw this material.

 THE SQUARE AND COMPASSES IMAGE IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK
The first cattle brand registered in the Montana territory in 1864 was the square and compasses used by the Poindexter and Orr Ranch.
Although there was no trademark protection as such, the court found that the square and compasses was so clearly identified with Freemasonry that the miller was prohibited from using the symbol.
In 1992 the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania registered the square and compasses for their jurisdiction and the Masonic Service Association of North America sent a letter to all U.S. Grand Secretaries explaining that, as there is no U.S. masonic national authority, each Grand Lodge would have to register independently.
