Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. Although the AAO accepted that the petitioner met the 'awards' criterion, it found the evidence for 'memberships', 'published materials', and 'original contributions' to be insufficient. The AAO noted that published materials were not primarily about the petitioner and were not recent, and that holding patents alone does not prove contributions of major significance.
