It's trademark infringement:

https://www.upcounsel.com/common-law-trademark

A common law trademark is a type of infringement protection for intellectual property wherein the property is used in commerce before it's federally registered. The U.S. common law trademark starts when you use the mark in commerce for the first time within a geographic area. It endures with continual, deliberate use and is shown by the superscript symbol "TM."

Business names, taglines, product names, logos, design elements, and sounds used to identify companies are all covered by a common law trademark.
