What this record means
The record shows that “VIKING SEA SALT” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to answer an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated October 5 2025; the owner listed is Ooops Brand, LLC, a Florida limited‑liability company. The filing covered only class 030 “Staple Foods,” specifically sea salt for cooking and for preserving foodstuffs, so a similar name used on any other type of product would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Viking” or “Sea Salt.” The prosecution history shows the usual examination steps – a design‑search code notice, a non‑final action, and then the abandonment for non‑response – but no supplemental‑register filing appears. The latest status event is the abandonment notice on October 5 2025, and no enforcement actions are visible in the file. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market a sea‑salt product under a similar name.
