I owe trademarks in the USA that we use here and also sell overseas. A USA mfg manufactures the same products with our trademarks and ships them overseas. They do not sell here in the USA. We find their product with our same TM in our overseas markets whre we have branded these TM. We want them to pay royalties for their usage because their product takes away from our sales.

If they are not selling or advertising the allegedly infringing products in the U.S., then you will need to establish that you have trademark rights in a country where they do sell, and they are infringing your rights in that country under that country's trademark laws. Your U.S. trademark alone will not protect you in another country -- trademarks are country-specific, like patents (and unlike copyright).
