In the United States, a trademark can last forever, so long as it is used in commerce and renewed on time every ten years. To renew a registered trademark, the owner must file the maintenance documents with the United States Patent Trademark Office (USPTO) and meet certain legal requirements.

To search the USPTO's trademark database, go to TESS and choose a search option. If you are searching for a name, you can use the trademark name search. If you are searching a design mark, such as a logo, you will first need to look up your design code using the USPTO's Design Search Code Manual.
