Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the required sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence for prizes was considered too old to demonstrate sustained acclaim, and a new award could not be considered as it was received after the petition was filed. Furthermore, evidence of published material was rejected due to incomplete and improperly certified translations and a failure to establish the significance of the publications.
