TM law is a can of worms.

A trade mark is protected as long as u can prove that YOU used the mark before anyone else.. in a specific area of business.

If u have used: im a shitter since 1988 and never cared for the domain and then someone goes registers imashitter.com and registers the TM, if u can prove that u used it first. YOu have rights to the mark.

It is all about first use.
