Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers
Question: How long is a trademark or service mark registration active?

Question: My spouse owned a trademark registration and has since died. Do I own it now?
Answer:
This depends on state law, so the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office cannot provide a definite answer for all factual situations. You should consider contacting an attorney, preferably one specializing in trademark law.
Question: What kind of marks may not be registered?
Answer:
A person may not register a mark that is deceptive, immoral, or scandalous. Also, trademarks related to a belief, an individual, an institution or a national symbol are not permitted.
