This week in the ENS ecosystem 🧵

ENS Update 🧵: In 2023 Unstoppable Domains (UD) obtained a patent for technology ENS Labs developed as open-source. Today, we petitioned USPTO to challenge the validity of that patent, and to ensure the web remains a collaborative space. Here's why and what’s at stake.

Let's set the record straight: UD has patented ENS's pioneering technology, directly leveraging our open-source innovations. This isn't flattery — it's theft. We have to fight this to ensure that ENS remains unrestricted for all. https://t.co/PJGcoKmPYb
