You could run the risk of infringing on the prior user's trade name or trade/service mark if you adopt the same or confusingly similar trade name. It would be in your best interest to consult an attorney before proceeding.
The foregoing is for informational purposes only, does not constitute legal advice, and in no way creates an attorney-client relationship.
