Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO found that the petitioner did meet the initial evidentiary criteria for original contributions of major significance and participation as a judge, contrary to the Director's findings. The AAO determined the Director had imposed evidentiary requirements beyond the regulations and that the evidence, such as the commercialization and licensing of the petitioner's therapies, was sufficient. The case was sent back for a final merits determination.
