Q. Can I pickup thus trademark if it’s dead
A: It may show as dead because of a error in the calendar. A trademark attorney will have to review the history of the mark for information suggestive of your use as a good or a bad idea. You may be infringing if the renewal failure was an oversight.

See an attorney.
