Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's third-place awards in Go tournaments were not considered major, internationally recognized awards, and the submitted published materials were deemed insufficient as they were from local publications, not major media, or did not primarily feature the petitioner.
