A United States federal judge has dismissed a patent infringement lawsuit brought against Uniswap Labs by the Bprotocol Foundation, the organization behind the Bancor protocol. The lawsuit alleged that Uniswap’s automated market maker (AMM) technology infringed upon patents held by Bancor regarding decentralized liquidity pools. In the ruling, the judge sided with Uniswap, dismissing the claims and providing a significant legal victory for the world’s largest decentralized exchange. This dismissal is seen as a landmark moment for the DeFi industry, as it addresses the complexities of intellectual property and open-source software within the blockchain ecosystem. While the legal battle highlights the growing tension between DeFi pioneers over proprietary technology, the court’s decision currently protects Uniswap from the specific infringement allegations raised by Bancor.
