Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. Although the petitioner's work had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope, he did not provide sufficient evidence, such as citation records or proof of patent utilization, to demonstrate that his past work had influenced the field as a whole.
