Your rights in a trademark continue as long as you use the mark. Federal registrations are valid for ten years, but they may be renewed over and over, so long as you are still using the mark in interstate commerce. The oldest continuously registered mark dates back to the 1870's.
Yes. A federal trademark establishes a presumption of ownership in a court of law. Owners of common law trademarks have to prove they use and own the trademark-sometimes on a county-by-county basis. This can be expensive and time consuming to prove in court.
