I need help, someone has taken my company name?

Okay I thought of this name “Romantique Interiors” 5 years ago,and even bought a webdomain that since expired. Well, I was doing a search on it and I found 1 company that now is using that name, and they bought my old domain I let go.

I searched the trademark office, and no one has registered this name, so if I purchase a trade mark will I be able to tell them “this is my name”?

how long will it take name servers to propogate ?

We renewed our domain last year for 2 yrs. this year it was not renewed by the provider and the domain registration is expired. Now the provider is saying the name server has to be propagated with global name server and take time to 4 hrs to 48hrs. The registration and hosting was with Pugmarks Inc. How to proceed legally with this problem. Pls some one suggest us.
