I am not an attorney but it is my understanding that the first user of a "term" has some rights even if they do not go through the formal trademark procedure. There are some protections provided by "first use."

You might also want to see if the term has been trademarked in another country. There may also be international trademark issues to consider.

There are attorney's on this board that can provide better insight.
