The Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) has filed a motion accusing self-proclaimed Bitcoin creator Craig Wright of contempt of court, CoinDesk reported on June 16, 2023. COPA alleges that Wright is "attempting to file intellectual property lawsuits related to the Bitcoin system," despite being previously enjoined from doing so. In March 2023, a court order prohibited Wright from filing lawsuits claiming to be the creator of Bitcoin. COPA's motion argues that Wright's actions constitute a clear violation of the court order and should be met with appropriate sanctions. It remains to be seen how the court will respond to the allegations. This news follows a series of legal battles between Wright and COPA over the ownership of Bitcoin-related intellectual property. Wright has repeatedly claimed to be the creator of Bitcoin under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, but his claims have been widely disputed.
