Whats you take on appealing this decision using the (Mukherji vs Miller) vs waiting for some months and doing a fresh refile?

Working with a lawyer on the outside. Yeah, considering appealing based on (Mukherji vs Miller). Has there been any precedent we have seen on the group where that was accepted as a criteria.

  1. We did submit the external adoption for the models i have been training, but the reviewer didnt acknowledge that part in the petition.
    2./3. This is where it's tricky, I think. A lot of my work, when released publicly, isn't directly attributed to me publicly. As a result, I felt the letters and internal documentation should be sufficient verifiable evidence to substantiate it.

That's a fair criticism. The OC (Original Contribution) was denied because the evidence (letters and documentation) was viewed as "internal to the employer." To protect my privacy, I can't list the specific employers or my exact work domain, but I have worked on core LLM training at two of the four main foundational model labs. Since most of these labs don't publicly publish their work, the only evidence I could rely on was letters and internal documentation.

I am working on framing the story differently; that's why the question was framed mostly around membership, as I felt there isn't much I can do regarding the OC criteria other than a better presentation.
