Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his awards were nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence. The AAO found that evidence for the significance of a Gold Prize and a National New Product Award was lacking, and also noted they were received nearly a decade prior, which does not demonstrate the required sustained acclaim. A regional subsidy was also deemed insufficient to prove national or international recognition.
