If it was NEVER used then it was never a trademark and lapsed immediately. If if was used and then no longer used, then the amount of time to find it has lapsed may depend upon how long it would take for the consumers to forget who originally owned it.
As for a US federal trademark registration, the registration will automatically lapse after six years unless a statement of use (and fees) is timely submitted, or after ten years if not renewed. The fact that a registration has lapsed does NOT mean the trademark has lapsed, as the owner of a trademark may have proprietary rights that transcend those provided by registration.
