You know from reading the other thread (https://forum.freeadvice.com/copyrights-trademarks-39/dead-trademark-question-610052.html) that trademarks do not need to be federally registered to be protected marks. The protection comes from the use of the trademark in commerce.

Therefore, you need to research the status of the mark beyond its federal registration. If the mark is still in use, you can expect registration of the mark by you to be opposed.
