Make sure no one else uses your trademark. Actively look for people that are 
using your mark and let them know that you have registered the mark. Tell 
them to stop. See an attorney to find out what to do. A failure to enforce 
your rights in your trademark will result in the loss of your rights.

So these people have already lost their trademark as we've been shiping 
ksokoban, ktron and kbattleship for *ages*.
