Bancor起訴UNISWAP實驗室和UNISWAP基金會，以侵犯專利的智能合同技術

Brotocol Foundation和Localcoin Ltd.已針對UNISWAP LABS和UNISWAP基金會提起訴訟。

Bprotocol Foundation and LocalCoin Ltd., the companies behind the Bancor (BNT) cryptocurrency protocol, have filed a lawsuit against Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation in a U.S. federal court. The lawsuit claims that Uniswap has been using a patented smart contract technology for decentralized trading without authorization.

Brotocol Foundation和Localcoin Ltd.是BNT（BNT）加密貨幣協議背後的公司，已在美國聯邦法院對Uniswap Labs和Uniswap Foundation提起訴訟。該訴訟聲稱，UNISWAP一直在未經授權的情況下使用專利的智能合同技術進行分散交易。

The lawsuit centers around Bancor’s invention of the constant product automated market maker (CPAMM) model, which LocalCoin had filed a provisional patent for in January 2017 after developing it in 2016. Using this technology, Bprotocol built and launched the Bancor Protocol in June 2017. This was the first decentralized exchange (DEX) to use CPAMM smart contracts.

該訴訟圍繞著Bancor對持續產品自動化做市商（CPAMM）模型的發明，該模型在2016年開發了該技術後，於2017年1月申請了臨時專利。使用這項技術，Bprotocol於2017年6月建立並啟動了Bancor協議。這是第一個使用CPAMM智能合約的人。

According to the lawsuit, Uniswap Labs went on to use this technology to build its own competing platform. Back in November 2018, Uniswap unveiled its DEX, which is also based on the same CPAMM model. However, the complaint asserts that Uniswap has been profiting from this patented structure without engaging in any licensing or partnership agreement with Bprotocol for its use.

根據訴訟，Uniswap Labs繼續使用該技術來構建自己的競爭平台。早在2018年11月，Uniswap推出了其DEX，該DEX也基於同一CPAMM模型。但是，投訴斷言，UNISWAP一直從該專利結構中獲利，而沒有與Brotocol進行任何許可或合夥協議以供其使用。

"This invention has been pivotal in supporting Bancor's longstanding role at the forefront of decentralized finance (DeFi) innovation," the lawsuit states. It adds that Bancor released a white paper in February 2017, disclosing the technology's use and function.

訴訟指出：“這項發明在支持Bancor在分散金融（DEFI）創新的最前沿的長期角色方面至關重要。”它補充說，Bancor於2017年2月發布了一份白皮書，並披露了該技術的使用和功能。

However, the plaintiffs allege that Uniswap Labs was well aware of the patent status and had no right to use the invention. The lawsuit details how Uniswap launched v1 of its DEX in 2018, already utilizing CPAMM smart contracts. Since then, Uniswap Labs has released several protocol updates, including the most recent v4 version. Each version, according to the plaintiffs, continues to infringe on the same technology.

但是，原告聲稱Uniswap Labs非常了解專利狀態，無權使用本發明。該訴訟詳細介紹了UNISWAP如何在2018年使用CPAMM智能合約推出了其DEX的V1。從那時起，Uniswap Labs發布了多個協議更新，包括最新的V4版本。根據原告的說法，每個版本都繼續侵犯同一技術。

Moreover, the plaintiffs claim that Uniswap Foundation actively induced this infringement by supporting and promoting the platform's expansion. Both entities, the lawsuit suggests, had full knowledge of the patent's status.

此外，原告聲稱，UNISWAP基金會通過支持和促進平台的擴張來積極誘使這種侵權。訴訟建議，這兩個實體都完全了解該專利的地位。

As a result, the plaintiffs are seeking monetary compensation for years of alleged unauthorized use and damages caused by the infringement. They are also demanding injunctive relief to halt any further infringement by Uniswap Labs, including the manufacture, use, sale, and import of devices, systems, and services that embody the patented invention.

結果，原告正在尋求多年的未經授權使用和侵權造成的損害賠償的貨幣賠償。他們還要求禁令救濟，以阻止UNISWAP實驗室的進一步侵權，包括體現專利發明的設備，系統和服務的製造，使用，銷售和進口。

Both Uniswap and Bancor are decentralized trading platforms that allow users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies without the need for a centralized exchange. Users can trade tokens on-chain with no fuss and no third parties to facilitate the trades.

Uniswap和Bancor都是分散的交易平台，可讓用戶在不需要集中交易的情況下買賣加密貨幣。用戶可以在沒有大驚小怪的情況下進行鏈上代幣，也沒有第三方來促進交易。
