TTABlog Test: How Did These Three Section 2(e)(1) Mere Descriptiveness Appeals Turn Out?

So far this year, the Board has affirmed about 90% of the Section 2(e)(1) mere descriptiveness refusals reviewed on appeal. Here are three more. How do you think they came out? [Results in first comment].

Would DECISION-GRADE have been found to be merely descriptive if the description of services had not stated that the analytics were "sufficient to replace human decision making"?
