What this record means
The record shows that “TBS DENTAL” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register, owned by TBS DENTAL LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company. It protects dental and medical instruments such as dental amalgams, hand pieces, impression trays, mirrors, forceps, surgical apparatus, articulators, and reusable prophy angles, with first use in October 2020. A similar name used for those specific instruments or related medical devices would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give control over every use of the word “dental” or “TBS” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows a smooth path to registration with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. The latest event is the registration on August 30, 2022, and no further maintenance dates are supplied. For anyone thinking of a similar name in the same classes, the mark’s existence suggests a meaningful risk of infringement.
