Not sure you can trade mark an instagram name. From their site :Using another's trademark in a way that has nothing to do with the product or service for which the trademark was granted is not a violation of Instagram's trademark policy. Note that Instagram usernames are provided on a first-come, first-served basis and may not be reserved.
Oh. But my name is trademarked not for just selling but all internet use.
Thanks for the feedback. I guess not much I can do then.

I don't know much about trademark laws, but it seems like instagram's stance is "oh well", lol. Maybe contact whoever has it now and mention you have it trademarked?

Here's Instagram's form with their submission link. Can't hurt to try.
What if an account is using my registered trademark as its username?
Trademark violations may involve using a company or business name, logo or other trademark-protected materials in a manner that may mislead or confuse others with regard to its brand or business affiliation.
What is not a violation?
Using another's trademark in a way that has nothing to do with the product or service for which the trademark was granted is not a violation of Instagram's trademark policy. Note that Instagram usernames are provided on a first-come, first-served basis and may not be reserved.
How do I report a trademark violation?
