If you feel that any company's logo is being misused by another company, then the aggrieved company has to first give a notice to the infringing company to desist from doing so.
It is only the other company does not desist from doing so, then further course of action can take place. Otherwise not.

If the LOGO is registered Trademark then you can file injunction to restrain its use under Trademark Act.

Claim of Logo would be valid for only that company, whichever has already registered that in its own name. However, if the logo is unregistered, any company providing proof of being the prior user of that can exert for the claim.

As such, the facts should first be checked before resorting to any legal action.
