Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, including medals from invention exhibitions, was deemed insufficient as it lacked evidence of the awards' significance, media coverage, or objective corroboration. One award was also noted to have been presented to the petitioner's son, not the petitioner himself.
