"You cannot get a trademark for an existing and established company name. Even if these companies did not register the trademark themselves, by simply trading under that name for a significant amount of time it builds up a reputation in a trademark.
This is what gives it value and goodwill. It is the use and goodwill, more than the fact that it is registered, that gives a trademark value which can then be protected. And in this case, he doesn't even own the trademark yet anyway, which puts him in an even weaker position."
