How long is a trademark valid?

Senior Trademark Attorney

A trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the filing date. It can be renewed indefinitely in 10-year increments by paying the renewal fee.

The US has one additional requirement: between the 5th and 6th year after registration, the owner must file a Declaration of Use confirming the trademark is still in active commercial use. Failure to file results in cancellation.

One of the most common reasons for trademark disputes has to do with the perceived similarity between existing trademarks. The two trademarks are considered “similar” if they share common characteristics connected to their appearance, sound, meaning and commercial impression, and if they are used for related goods or services. This is seen as a problem from brand perspective because the consumers might believe that the owners of the two trademarks are related, affiliated, connected, or that the goods or services originate from the same source.
