Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While she met the criteria for authorship of scholarly articles and judging the work of others, she did not establish that her original contributions were of major significance. Her patent, though an original contribution, lacked evidence of adoption, commercialization, or actual impact on the field.
