The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) considers a trademark abandoned if it's not used in commerce. There are some exceptions ? such as temporary periods of non-use ? but if you stop using your trademark in your business, the USPTO will cancel or expire your registration.

The length of a federal trademark registration term is 10 years, but trademarks can potentially last indefinitely.

To maintain a trademark, trademark renewal documents must be filed with the USPTO between the 5th and 6th year after registration, and then every 10 years after registration.

Even though an application is pending, the registration symbol may not be used before the mark has actually become registered. The federal registration symbol should only be used on goods or services that are the subject of the federal trademark registration.

Using the trademark symbols TM, SM, and ® You can use ?TM? for goods or ?SM? for services even if you haven't filed an application to register your trademark. Once you register your trademark with us, use an ® with the trademark.
