What this record means
The record shows that “TBS INOX” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register, owned by TBS DENTAL LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company. The mark protects dental and medical instruments such as dental amalgams, hand pieces, impression trays, mirrors, forceps, sterilizers, surgical apparatus, articulators, and reusable prophy angles. A similar name used for these or closely related products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The registration does not give control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the goods listed. The prosecution history indicates the mark was approved for publication and registered on November 30, 2021, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. The latest meaningful event is the registration date itself, and no further maintenance or renewal dates are supplied. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration in the dental instrument field suggests a meaningful risk of infringement if the new name is used for comparable products.
