If someone uses a registered trademark without permission, the trademark owner can take legal action to stop the infringement:

File a lawsuit: The trademark owner can file a civil lawsuit in state or federal court.

Seek remedies: If the trademark owner wins, the court can order the infringer to stop using the mark, destroy or forfeit infringing items, and pay damages.

Prosecute under civil law: Trademark infringement is a civil matter, not a criminal act.

To prevent trademark infringement, you can: Trademark your name first, Object to someone else's trademark application, Send a cease-and-desist letter, Conduct regular online searches for your business name, and Consult a trademark attorney.
