Trademark registration

Can I register a trademark and keep it, without having a trade that uses that name?

Unlike copyrights or patents, trademark registration rights can last indefinitely if the owner continues to use the mark to identify goods or services.

The term of a federal trademark registration is ten years, with ten-year renewal terms. However, between the fifth and sixth year after the date of initial trademark registration, you must file an "affidavit of use" and pay an additional fee to keep the registration alive. You must also file an affidavit and pay a fee within a year before the end of every ten-year period.
 

If an affidavit is missed, the registration is canceled. However, you may file the affidavit within a grace period of six months after the end of the sixth or tenth year, with payment of an additional fee.

Once you have a business existence.you can very well apply for a trademark with a prescribed charges..effective using or not using is your choice..

If anyone wants to secure a logo/name, can get it Trademark registered. Now using it or having a plan to use in future is one's own choice.

Thanks & Regards
