Bancor起诉UNISWAP实验室和UNISWAP基金会，以侵犯专利的智能合同技术

Brotocol Foundation和Localcoin Ltd.已针对UNISWAP LABS和UNISWAP基金会提起诉讼。

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）加密货币协议背后的公司，已在美国联邦法院对Uniswap Labs和Uniswap Foundation提起诉讼。该诉讼声称，UNISWAP一直在未经授权的情况下使用专利的智能合同技术进行分散交易。

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.

该诉讼围绕着Bancor对持续产品自动化做市商（CPAMM）模型的发明，该模型在2016年开发了该技术后，于2017年1月申请了临时专利。使用这项技术，Bprotocol于2017年6月建立并启动了Bancor协议。这是第一个使用CPAMM智能合约的人。

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.

根据诉讼，Uniswap Labs继续使用该技术来构建自己的竞争平台。早在2018年11月，Uniswap推出了其DEX，该DEX也基于同一CPAMM模型。但是，投诉断言，UNISWAP一直从该专利结构中获利，而没有与Brotocol进行任何许可或合伙协议以供其使用。

"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.

诉讼指出：“这项发明在支持Bancor在分散金融（DEFI）创新的最前沿的长期角色方面至关重要。”它补充说，Bancor于2017年2月发布了一份白皮书，并披露了该技术的使用和功能。

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，原告声称Uniswap Labs非常了解专利状态，无权使用本发明。该诉讼详细介绍了UNISWAP如何在2018年使用CPAMM智能合约推出了其DEX的V1。从那时起，Uniswap Labs发布了多个协议更新，包括最新的V4版本。根据原告的说法，每个版本都继续侵犯同一技术。

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，原告声称，UNISWAP基金会通过支持和促进平台的扩张来积极诱使这种侵权。诉讼建议，这两个实体都完全了解该专利的地位。

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.

结果，原告正在寻求多年的未经授权使用和侵权造成的损害赔偿的货币赔偿。他们还要求禁令救济，以阻止UNISWAP实验室的进一步侵权，包括体现专利发明的设备，系统和服务的制造，使用，销售和进口。
