In order to register a trademark you must file an application with the USPTO. If the mark has been abandoned you will be able to refile your own application for the mark. To ensure you properly file for your trademark it is recommended to work with a trademark attorney or specialist.

You definitely should terminate the pending application and re-file with a reputable trademark attorney. Trademark Pioneer is/was a notorious scam, you were an unfortunate victim. But they cannot "steal" your trademark, as ownership depends on usage and you have priority of use if challenged.

answered on Sep 30, 2019

As far as trademark use is concerned, the name of the company may not have an effect on it.

Typically whoever has been using it first may have some rights to it as a trademark, may be broad or limited.

Registration gives presumption of ownership, but it is rebuttable.
