• Unstoppable Domains was issued its first patent (US11558344) in January.
• ENS Labs claims the patent is totally a derivative of its own innovations.

ENS Labs는 이 특허가 전적으로 자체 혁신의 파생물이라고 주장합니다.

In an open letter published on Twitter, Nick Johnson, the founder and principal developer of Ethereum Name Service (ENS), urges blockchain domains firm Unstoppable Domains to relinquish a newly obtained patent or face legal action.

이더리움 네임 서비스(ENS)의 창립자이자 주요 개발자인 Nick Johnson은 트위터에 게시된 공개 서한에서 블록체인 도메인 회사인 Unstoppable Domains에 새로 획득한 특허를 포기하거나 법적 조치를 취할 것을 촉구했습니다.

Unstoppable Domains was issued its first patent (US11558344) in January, for a technology that leverages blockchain technology to determine domains and is said to have been invented by Braden River Pezeshki, Matthew Everett Gould, and Bogdan Gusiev.

Ongoing Clash Over Patent

Furthermore, the request for a patent was submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in 2021. Also, Johnson claims that the patent relies only on advancements made by ENS and includes no original ideas of its own.

또한, 특허 요청은 2021년 미국 특허상표청(USPTO)에 제출되었습니다. 또한 Johnson은 해당 특허가 ENS의 발전에만 의존하고 있으며 자체 독창적인 아이디어는 포함되어 있지 않다고 주장합니다.

Moreover, Johnson states in his open letter that all ENS work is released under open-source licenses and that all applicable standards may be found online. He claims that he has been trying to get in touch with Unstoppable Domains about the matter for months, but has been unable.

Johnson stated:

“UD has subsequently issued a press release ‘pledging’ its first patent to the Web3 Domain Alliance, an industry group founded and run by Unstoppable Domains. We appreciate the sentiment behind this, but regrettably, press releases are not legally binding.”

“UD는 이후 Unstoppable Domains가 설립하고 운영하는 산업 그룹인 Web3 Domain Alliance에 첫 번째 특허를 '약속'하는 보도 자료를 발표했습니다. 우리는 이에 대한 감정에 감사하지만 유감스럽게도 보도 자료는 법적 구속력이 없습니다.”

Also, the ENS Labs is ready to oppose this patent, which it feels is totally derivative of its own innovations; a stance it is able and prepared to show, Johnson cautioned.

또한 ENS 연구소는 자체 혁신에서 완전히 파생된 것으로 생각되는 이 특허에 반대할 준비가 되어 있습니다. 존슨은 보여줄 수 있고 보여줄 준비가 되어 있다고 경고했다.

Moreover, one of the alleged creators from Unstoppable Domains, Matthew Gould, commented in the discussion, giving a broad invitation for participation in the Web3 Domain Alliance, the blockchain domain registry company purportedly pledged with the patent.
