Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required number of criteria. Although the AAO acknowledged the petitioner's receipt of qualifying awards, it found that his memberships did not require outstanding achievements, published materials were not primarily about him and were not sustained, and he failed to demonstrate that his patents represented contributions of major significance to his field.
