Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The Director granted the criteria for judging and scholarly articles, but the AAO concluded the petitioner did not demonstrate that his original contributions were of major significance. The evidence described promising drug discovery research, but did not show that the contributions had been widely implemented or had a remarkable impact on the field, as they were largely unproven, held as trade secrets, and had not yet reached clinical trials.
