A: Dear Mrs or Mr,

you can use trademark which is no longer valid and can not be validated/renewed anymore in trade. From information provided by you I can not be 100% sure whats the status of the mark, what registry, what territory are you going to market your goods in, what goods are you going to sell and so on.

For more precise advice I would need more information so I can provide better answer.

Contact me anytime if you need further advice.
