Unless you plan on doing business in the other areas, you really have no basis to do so, in my opinion.

I have been to many small towns where small shops have the same name but no relationship whatsoever. The name of your business is not property. It is identification.

Unless you are doing business in that area, your brand is non-existent.

Intellectual property does not exist. Copyright, patent, and trademark laws are a convenience, nothing more. They are not compatible. Each has a limited purpose.

I registered for my business name in my county. My question is how do I register the same name so it can’t be taken in any other states in the u.s?
