The Director concluded the Petitioner did not prove the Beneficiary's knowledge of the company's products, processes, and technology was special or advanced compared to that of others in the industry. Despite claims of a 'niche market,' the evidence provided was deemed insufficient to demonstrate that the Beneficiary's knowledge could not be easily imparted to another individual.
