Before Greenbaum, Thurmon and Lebow, Administrative Trademark Judges.
Opinion by Lebow, Administrative Trademark Judge:
On May 7, 2026, the Board issued a final decision affirming the refusal to register
the mark “CHAINLINK DATA STREAMS” in the absence of a disclaimer on the
ground that it is merely descriptive of the identified services under Section 2(e)(1) of
the Trademark Act and has not acquired distinctiveness. 12 TTABVUE. However,
the Board indicated that 	the 	disclaimer requirement would be 	met, and 	the
application would proceed, if Applicant submitted an appropriate disclaimer of the
wording “DATA STREAMS” within thirty days of the decision. Id. See Trademark

Serial No. 98004679
- 2 -
Rule 2.142(g), 	37 	C.F.R. § 2.142(g). 	On May 	26, 	2026, 	Applicant submitted a
disclaimer of “DATA STREAMS” apart from the marks as a whole. 13 TTABVUE.
The disclaimer in the application is accepted and entered in the following form:
No claim is made to the exclusive right to use DATA STREAMS
apart from the mark as shown.
Accordingly, and further to Trademark Rule 2.142(g), 37 C.F.R. § 2.142(g), the
disclaimer requirement has been met, and Application Serial No. 98004679, with the
disclaimer, will proceed to publication.
