The UK Court of Appeal has ruled against Craig Wright, who is known for his claims that he is the creator of the Bitcoin digital coin under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. The court denied him the right to appeal an earlier ruling in a case against the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) organization. The institution had previously accused Wright of attempting to misappropriate the copyright of the Bitcoin White Paper, which sparked a lot of controversy in the crypto community. Judge Arnold, who heard the appeal, noted that Wright’s arguments lacked credibility. According to the law representative, the evidence presented is immaterial. The court pointed out that even additional documents presented by Wright would not have affected the outcome of the case. According to the judge, the key question remains the same: whether Wright can corroborate his claims that he is the creator of Bitcoin. The court concluded that such evidence is completely absent, which means he has no right to claim to be the creator of the digital coin.
The court’s decision was another blow to Wright, who has faced criticism for trying to prove his authorship of Bitcoin. COPA, on the other hand, has received support from the crypto community, which sees the case as an important defense of the openness and independence of Bitcoin’s technology. The
court’s denial of the appeal also underscores the importance of legal precision in cases like this. The COPA v. Wright case continues to be an example of how the judicial system evaluates disputes surrounding intellectual property in the crypto industry. Against this backdrop, interest in the Wright case, as well as discussions about his role in Bitcoin’s history, have not waned. Many participants of the crypto community took this decision as confirmation that the claims of the pseudo-creator of BTC do not stand up to criticism.
