Just so there's no confusion here, in the U.S. a trademark comes from using a mark in trade. Registration is just a bow on the top which gives you presumptive ownership. If you register a trademark that doesn't belong to you (as Linux(R) was once registered), it will be taken away and given to the proper owner who used it in trade.
trademark from use
