And according to the USPTO:
Federal registration is not required to establish rights in a trademark.
Common law rights arise from actual use of a mark. Generally, the first
to either use a mark in commerce or file an intent to use application
with the Patent and Trademark Office has the ultimate right to use and
registration.
Loren wins again. :)
