Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: How long does a trademark last?

Answer:
Rights in a federally-registered trademark can last indefinitely if the owner continues to use the mark on or in connection with the goods and/or services in the registration and files all necessary documentation.

Question: Do I need to translate my trademarks into a foreign language?

Answer:
No. When translating text/documents into another language, the trademark doesn’t need to be translated. Often there is no literal translation of the term, and the significance of the trademark is not how it translates.

Question: How do I find out whether a mark is already registered?

Answer:
You may conduct a search free of charge on the USPTO website using the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS).
