DeFi protocol Bancor has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation, sparking debate and unease within the decentralized finance ecosystem.

Defi Protocol Bancor已針對Uniswap Labs和Uniswap Foundation提起了專利侵權訴訟，在分散的金融生態系統中引發了辯論和不安。

The suit, filed by Bprotocol Foundation, a nonprofit entity related to Bancor, and LocalCoin Ltd., now pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, claims that the founders of Uniswap used a patented technology invented by Bancor.

該訴訟由與Bancor有關的非營利組織Brotocol Foundation和Localcoin Ltd.提起訴訟，現在在紐約南部地區的美國地方法院審理中提起訴訟。

According to the lawsuit, the lawsuit claims that the founders of Uniswap were aware of Bancor's patent and still went ahead to use the technology in building Uniswap.

根據訴訟，該訴訟聲稱UnisWap的創始人知道了Bancor的專利，並且仍在繼續使用該技術來構建Uniswap。

"At least as early as 2015, the founders of Defendant Uniswap Labs were aware of Claimants' invention of the Constant Product Automated Market Maker technology, and at least as early as 2016, the founders of Defendant Uniswap Labs began developing a copycat version of Claimants' patented technology, which copycat version later became known as Uniswap. In or around 2017, Defendant Uniswap Labs launched its copycat version of Claimants' patented technology to the public."

“至少早在2015年，被告UNISWAP實驗室的創始人就意識到索賠人對持續的產品自動化營銷技術的發明，至少早在2016年，被告Unistwap Labs的創始人就開始開發索賠人的CoperCat版本的索賠人的專利技術，後來又啟動了索賠人的索賠，該索賠是Unisswap insiis insiis inis of inisswap，Uniis unis of Uniswap。向公眾提供專利技術。”

The lawsuit further claims that the accused infringers were notified of the patent and given the opportunity to cease and desist but nevertheless continued their actions, leading to this litigation.

該訴訟進一步聲稱，被告侵權人已被通知該專利，並有機會停止和停止，但仍在繼續採取行動，導致了這一訴訟。

The lawsuit arises from a patent granted in 2021 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to LocalCoin, covering a "system and method for facilitating automated trading in a trustless environment." This patent builds upon a provisional application filed in January 2017 by the inventors of Bancor.

該訴訟源於美國專利商標局在2021年授予LocalCoin的專利，涵蓋了“在無信任環境中促進自動交易的系統和方法”。該專利建立在2017年1月由Bancor發明者提交的臨時申請上。

According to Bancor, the patent is directed toward a constant product automated market maker (CPAMM) structure, which forms the basis of decentralized exchanges that do not rely on centralized order books.

根據Bancor的說法，該專利針對恆定的產品自動化做市商（CPAMM）結構，該結構構成了不依賴集中訂單書籍的分散交易所的基礎。

The lawsuit states that the provisional patent application was filed in response to a trade secret litigation matter that arose in December 2016, aiming to quickly disclose the invention to the public.

該訴訟指出，臨時專利申請是針對2016年12月提出的商業秘密訴訟事項提出的，旨在快速向公眾披露本發明。

"To the best of Claimants' knowledge, the provisional patent application was the first to disclose the invention of the constant product formula in a patent application, and Claimants believe that the provisional patent application was also the first to disclose the invention of the CPAMM in a patent application."

“據索賠人所知，臨時專利申請是第一個在專利申請中披露恆定產品公式發明的發明，索賠人認為，臨時專利申請也是第一個在專利申請中披露CPAMM發明的發明。”

This lawsuit comes amid broader concerns within the DeFi community regarding the implications of patents in a decentralized setting. While patents are typically intended to incentivize innovation by granting exclusive rights for a limited period, they can also pose challenges to the spirit of open-source collaboration that underpins decentralized protocols.

在Defi社區中更廣泛的關注點在分散的環境中對專利的含義提出了更廣泛的關注。儘管專利通常旨在通過在有限時期內授予專有權利來激勵創新，但它們還可以對基於分散協議的開源協作精神構成挑戰。

The lawsuit has already generated discussion and varying perspectives online, highlighting the complexities of legal issues in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

該訴訟已經在網上引起了討論和不同的觀點，突出了迅速發展的技術格局中法律問題的複雜性。
