Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the third prong of the national interest waiver test. Although the petitioner's work in information and software security was deemed to have substantial intrinsic merit and be national in scope, the record lacked sufficient evidence that his past achievements and innovations had already influenced the field as a whole as of the filing date.
