Brotocolocol Foundation起訴UNISWAP實驗室以侵犯其CPAMM專利

該案子稱，UNISWAP使用了Bancor未經授權而開發的專利分散交易所（DEX）技術。

Bprotocol Basis and LocalCoin have reportedly filed a lawsuit in New York federal court against Uniswap Labs, Inc., claiming that the decentralized exchange (DEX) used patented decentralized exchange technology developed by Bancor without authorization.

據報導，Brotocol的基礎和地方幣已在紐約聯邦法院針對Uniswap Labs，Inc。提起訴訟，聲稱該分散的交易所（DEX）使用了由Bancor開發的專利分散交換技術未經授權而開發的。

The lawsuit, which was filed on Tuesday, alleges that Uniswap's platform operates using a constant product automated market maker (CPAMM) structure that was created by Bancor in 2016 and secured with a provisional patent in early 2017.

該訴訟於週二提起，稱Uniswap的平台使用持續的產品自動化營銷商（CPAMM）結構運行，該結構是由Bancor於2016年創建的，並在2017年初獲得了臨時專利。

According to Bprotocol, this model, which replaces order books and makes automated trading a key feature of DEXs today, was designed and introduced by Bprotocol and LocalCoin with the Bancor Protocol.

根據Brotocol的說法，該模型取代了訂單書籍並使自動交易成為當今DEX的關鍵功能，它是由Brotocol和Localcoin使用Bancor協議設計和介紹的。

"This design, which forms the basis of the Bprotocol Foundation's patent claim, is foundational to how the Uniswap protocol performs token swaps, and the plaintiffs maintain that Uniswap replicated these mechanisms without seeking a license or providing attribution," the release reads.

“這種設計構成了Brotocol Foundation的專利主張的基礎，是基本的基礎，是UNISWAP協議如何執行令牌掉期的基礎，並且原告堅持認為，UNISWAP在沒有尋求許可或提供歸屬的情況下複製了這些機制，”該版本讀取。

This lawsuit could be a major legal challenge for the DeFi community. It is alleged that Uniswap has been infringing on Bprotocol's patent rights for several years by operating its exchange using patented technology without a license.

對於Defi社區而言，這項訴訟可能是一個重大的法律挑戰。據稱，幾年來使用專利技術在沒有許可證的情況下運營其交易所，因此Uniswap一直侵犯了Brotocol的專利權。

The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, claims that the infringement began when the provisional patent application was filed in early 2017 and continues to this day.

該訴訟是在紐約南部地區的美國地方法院提起的，聲稱侵權是在2017年初提出的臨時專利申請時開始的，一直持續到今天。

According to the plaintiffs, Bprotocol and LocalCoin designed and introduced the Bancor Protocol, which brought CPAMM trading to decentralized finance.

根據原告，Brotocol和LocalCoin設計和介紹了Bancor協議，這將CPAMM交易帶入了分散的財務。

"This design, which forms the basis of the Bprotocol Basis's patent claim, is foundational to how the Uniswap protocol performs token swaps, and the plaintiffs maintain that Uniswap replicated these mechanisms without seeking a license or providing attribution," the release explains.

該版本解釋說：“這種設計構成了Brotocol基礎專利主張的基礎，是基本的基礎，是基本的UNISWAP協議如何執行令牌掉期，並且原告堅持認為，uniswap在沒有尋求許可或提供歸因的情況下複製了這些機制。”

The plaintiffs are seeking damages from Uniswap for the unlicensed use of the CPAMM model, which they claim allowed the exchange to gain a major competitive edge within the DeFi market.

原告正在尋求uniswap的損害賠償，以無執照的使用CPAMM模型，他們聲稱該模型允許交易所在Defi市場內獲得主要的競爭優勢。

"This benefit was developed without rendering proper credit or payment to the founders of the technology or their assigned entity, LocalCoin Capital, Inc.," the release adds.

該新聞稿補充說：“這項收益是開發的，而沒有提供適當的信貸或向技術的創始人或其指定的實體Localcoin Capital，Inc。付款。”

The lawsuit alleges that Uniswap's ability to quickly rise to prominence within the DeFi market was due in part to its implementation of patented features without a licensing agreement.

該訴訟稱，UNISWAP在Defi市場內迅速崛起的能力部分是由於其未經許可協議實施了專利功能。

According to the plaintiffs, Uniswap's success has come at the expense of Bancor, which struggled to grow and succeed within the DEX market despite being the original innovator.

根據原告的說法，UNISWAP的成功卻以犧牲Bancor為代價，儘管這是最初的創新者，但儘管如此，它還是在DEX市場上努力發展並取得成功。

"The lawsuit aims to achieve justice for the plaintiffs, whose invention and initiative were instrumental in advancing blockchain technology and liquidity solutions," the release concludes.

該新聞稿總結說：“該訴訟旨在為原告實現正義，其發明和主動性在推進區塊鏈技術和流動性解決方案方面發揮了作用。”

The lawsuit seeks an injunction to prevent further infringement of the patent and an award of damages to compensate the plaintiffs for the economic losses they suffered as a result of Uniswap's alleged actions.

該訴訟尋求一項禁令，以防止進一步侵犯該專利，並裁定賠償賠償，以補償原告因Uniswap所謂的行動而遭受的經濟損失。

The plaintiffs argue that they are pursuing this legal action to defend the importance of intellectual property in the development of blockchain technology.

原告辯稱，他們正在採取這項法律行動來捍衛知識產權在開發區塊技術中的重要性。

"The filing is unusual in this domain as it asserts patent rights in an area largely focused on open-source protocols," the release notes.

該釋放指出：“在該領域中，該文件在主要集中於開源協議的領域中主張專利權利，因此該申請是不尋常的。”

This lawsuit could have significant implications for the future of decentralized finance, as it raises questions about the ownership and transferability of intellectual property in the blockchain space.

該訴訟可能會對分散財務的未來產生重大影響，因為它提出了有關區塊鏈領域知識產權的所有權和可轉讓性的疑問。

Uniswap Labs responded by saying it would be dismissing the lawsuit, which it claims is meritless.

Uniswap Labs回應說，它將駁回該訴訟，其聲稱這是有用的。

"The lawsuit arises from a provisional patent application filed in 2017 for a foundational constant product formula used in Uniswap’s protocol, which has been open-source and publicly accessible since launch," Uniswap Labs said in a statement.

Uniswap Labs在一份聲明中說：“該訴訟源於2017年針對Uniswap協議中使用的基礎恆定產品公式提交的臨時專利申請，該公式是自推出以來一直是開源的，並且可以公開訪問。”

"This lawsuit will not interfere with our usual operations or hot topics, such as the launch of the Uniswap X proposal or the pending vote on the Uniswap Foundation's proposed closure."

“這項訴訟不會干擾我們通常的運營或熱門話題，例如啟動Uniswap X提案或對Uniswap基金會提議關閉的未決投票。”

The firm added that it would continue to innovate and build in DeFi.

該公司補充說，它將繼續進行創新和建造。

"Uniswap is committed to transparency and innovation in decentralized finance," the statement concluded.

聲明總結說：“ Uniswap致力於分散財務的透明度和創新。”

Uniswap Foundation also stated it would be supporting the legal defense and expressed its commitment to open-source development in decentralized finance.

UNISWAP基金會還表示，它將支持法律辯護，並表示其致力於分散財務的開源發展的承諾。

"We can confirm again that the CPAMM is a common legal mechanism that can be used without breaking any patents or engaging in any unlawful activity," the firm said in a statement.

該公司在一份聲明中說：“我們可以再次確認CPAMM是一種常見的法律機制，可以在不違反任何專利或從事任何非法活動的情況下使用。”

"We plan to continue with our development work even as we manage this legal matter."

“即使我們管理這一法律問題，我們也計劃繼續進行開發工作。”
