Please note that if the identification of goods or services has been amended below, any future amendments must be in accordance with 37 C.F.R. 2.71(a); TMEP section 1402.07(e). No response is necessary unless there is an objection to the amendment. If there is an objection to the amendment, the applicant should notify the examining attorney immediately.

The examining attorney has classified "dental instruments, namely an intraoral camera" in International Class 009. The correct classification, as indicated in the application, is International Class 010. Accordingly, the application is corrected to reflect the proper class number.
The decision as to the proper classification of goods or services is a purely administrative matter which is within the sole discretion of the Patent and Trademark Office. In re Tee-Pak, Inc., 164 USPQ 88 (TTAB 1969).
The examining attorney apologizes for any inconvenience that this may cause. If the applicant has any questions or needs further assistance please telephone the assigned examining attorney.
Finally, it is noted that according to the applicant, “SLC” does not have any significance in the relevant trade or industry as applied to the goods.
