as my future trade mark for my company. Does trademark has anything to do with people that release software with the same name it is copyrighted.There is not registered trade mark except one abandoned one 17 years ago The only software of some company uses that name but my business is totally different it is selling goods

Try http://www.uspto.gov There you find all of the explanations behind filing a trademark. Since you are not in the same business as the software companies, you may not have a problem. You'll most likely need an attorney to write up the trademark descriptions so that in case of future legal proceedings you would be as protected as possible.Good luck.

You might consider copyrighting your company name and trademarking a product. So you can use the same name but I don't think you want to trademark a company name.Go here and look at the difference between the two. You may also consider an LLC.
