OK, so what if you have a name that you came up with and didn't steal from anyone, but are concerned about potential conflict with an existing business? You search online and find no conflict. After that you go and pay a bunch of dough and trademark the sucker (in this case, in the US). Is it possible for some previously unseen person/company who has been using this name to come out of the woodwork and insist that since they have been using the name, (although it is not a registered trademark) that you should cease and desist?
I hope not, I'm just wondering whether registering a Trademark puts you in the clear.
