The Washington trademark search is used to examine active and expired trademarks registered with the Secretary of State. Trademarks are defined as any word, name, symbol, or device implemented by a business owner to distinguish their brand of goods from others.[1]
Once approved, a trademark’s registration remains valid for 5 years. Registration can be renewed for 5-year terms after that as long as a renewal form is filed within six months of the expiration date.[2]
