Question: My spouse owned a trademark registration and has since died. Do I own it now?
Answer:
This depends on state law, so the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office cannot provide a definite answer for all factual situations. You should consider contacting an attorney, preferably one specializing in trademark law.
