You state that you are the owner of a trademark, but have you federal registered the trademark? If not, your rights might be limited to the areas in which you are doing business. If you have not federal registered the trademark, have you conducted a search to see if any of the other companies have done so? Have you done any investigation to establish that the other companies have not been using the trademark for a longer time than you have or at least for several years? You need to consult with a trademark attorney, not only to have the attorney evaluate whether or not the marks as used might be confusingly similar (the standard for infringment), but to determine the answers to the questions that i have posed.  What you need done is way beyond the scope of the free assistance that can be provided via this site.
