ENS Developer Accuses Unstoppable Domains of Patenting Its Innovations, Calls for Legal Action
-
ENS developer Nick Johnson claims a patent granted to Unstoppable Domains in January is entirely based on ENS Labs innovations.
-
Johnson says continued attempts to contact Unstoppable Domains about the issue have failed in recent months.
-
Johnson warns Unstoppable Domains to put legal weight behind its PR commitment with an unconditional patent pledge.
-
ENS Labs is ready to legally challenge the patent, believing it to be entirely derivative of their own inventions.

Requiring organizations to join Web3 Domain Alliance for patent rights is an attack on open-source ethos, says ETC Cooperative's Bob Summerwill.
