What this means
These status codes mean the trademark application is abandoned and no longer pending. Common reasons include missing an Office Action response (600), filing without a valid basis (602), express abandonment by the applicant (604), or failure to respond to an examiner's inquiry (618). Revival may be possible in limited circumstances. If abandonment was unintentional, consult counsel about a petition to revive. Otherwise file a new application if protection is still needed.

| 040 | Sea salt has been made using various methods since the beginning of time; Evaporation of seawater occurs naturally at the shoreline areas of all the oceans of the world; However, only rudimentary attempts have ever been made to harness and control this natural process; -----Typically, seawater is trapped in shallow ponds by salt farmers and left to dry in the sun; These dried salts are then manually harvested; Commercial and specialty salts are further heated and processed to remove impurities, which destroys the delicate mineral spectrum; Gourmet salts are not heated, leaving in the impurities from the seawater and the air; In addition, age-old harvesting techniques only skim the flowering of the salt, leaving behind the full complement of crucial trace minerals, elements and electrolytes that can only be captured by complete evaporation;-----Solar Seal technology harnesses the natural processes of salt drying but takes many critical steps forward in order to achieve what we call "whole salt;" This superior sea salt is distinguished by both maximum purity and the complete mineral-element-electrolyte spectrum inherent in ocean water, in its ideal, naturally occuring balance: apx 84% sodium chloride, apx; 16% trace minerals, electrolytes and elements; Virtually every other salt in the world is 98%+ sodium chloride;-----In the proprietary Solar Seal process, unlike traditional and commercial methods, seawater is first purified to bottled-water standards, then fed into one of two, hermetically sealed containment systems: a linked grid of solar evaporator pans, or an all-glass, sealed solar drying house; In Solar Seal-again, unlike all other sea salt harvesting processes-no human contact or airborne pollutants can contaminate the growing of perfect crystals with all the prized properties of "whole salt;"-----Evaporation occurs naturally during the drying period using only trapped solar heat; FDA-approved harvesting techniques are then used to remove the sea salt from the pans or building to be packaged for shipment to customers around the world;-----Pure rain water is also released by the seawater over the entire drying period; This rain water is collected by a process inherent in Solar Seal technology and drawn off for use as bottled drinking water; Again, only FDA-approved techniques are applied throughout this process to produce the highest quality drinking water;-----Solar Seal is the most advanced technology ever utilized to produce natural sea salt; It harnesses naturally occurring processes and marries these to advanced technology, resulting in a product that is superior in every way to every other sea salt in the world | ACTIVE | — |
