Not Ranked
Mark...that is somewhat confusing. I have had a number of DBA companies over the years. Once you have registered a DBA, then no-one else is supposed to be able to get the same name...at least that's true in Texas. The State should enforce the 'uniqueness' of your name as part of the DBA process.
I therefore assume that every one of these other companies has NOT registered, and so, as Warren recommends, you need to contact a lawyer to issue multiple 'cease and desist' orders to stop using YOUR name for THEIR businesses.
Shouldn't be too expensive, as it should be the same letter!
