Re: someone opened a business using my corporation without promission
Whether you have any rights to the name and, subsequently, any rights to stop use by another depends on many factors including first use, location of use, type of industry, and similarity of the name. Talk to a local intellectual property attorney.
If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

More information is needed.
It is impossible to register identical corporation names in the same state. So, you must either be talking about a similar name or a different state or an unregistered name. Extent of use and type of business are also important to know.
Please repost your question with more facts.
