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已针对Uniswap Labs和Uniswap Foundation提起了专利侵权诉讼，在分散的金融生态系统中引发了辩论和不安。

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.

该诉讼由与Bancor有关的非营利组织Brotocol Foundation和Localcoin Ltd.提起诉讼，现在在纽约南部地区的美国地方法院审理中提起诉讼。

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.

根据诉讼，该诉讼声称UnisWap的创始人知道了Bancor的专利，并且仍在继续使用该技术来构建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实验室的创始人就意识到索赔人对持续的产品自动化营销技术的发明，至少早在2016年，被告Unistwap Labs的创始人就开始开发索赔人的CoperCat版本的索赔人的专利技术，后来又启动了索赔人的索赔，该索赔是Unisswap insiis insiis inis of inisswap，Uniis unis of Uniswap。向公众提供专利技术。”

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.

该诉讼进一步声称，被告侵权人已被通知该专利，并有机会停止和停止，但仍在继续采取行动，导致了这一诉讼。

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.

该诉讼源于美国专利商标局在2021年授予LocalCoin的专利，涵盖了“在无信任环境中促进自动交易的系统和方法”。该专利建立在2017年1月由Bancor发明者提交的临时申请上。

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.

根据Bancor的说法，该专利针对恒定的产品自动化做市商（CPAMM）结构，该结构构成了不依赖集中订单书籍的分散交易所的基础。

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.

该诉讼指出，临时专利申请是针对2016年12月提出的商业秘密诉讼事项提出的，旨在快速向公众披露本发明。

"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."

“据索赔人所知，临时专利申请是第一个在专利申请中披露恒定产品公式发明的发明，索赔人认为，临时专利申请也是第一个在专利申请中披露CPAMM发明的发明。”

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社区中更广泛的关注点在分散的环境中对专利的含义提出了更广泛的关注。尽管专利通常旨在通过在有限时期内授予专有权利来激励创新，但它们还可以对基于分散协议的开源协作精神构成挑战。

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

该诉讼已经在网上引起了讨论和不同的观点，突出了迅速发展的技术格局中法律问题的复杂性。
