Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for the awards criterion, consisting of certificates from the 1980s in Ukraine, was deemed insufficient as their national or international significance was not established. Similarly, the published materials were from a newspaper with a small circulation, not qualifying as major media, and patents submitted did not prove they constituted contributions of major significance to the field.
