In a recent court ruling following a lengthy trial between COPA and Craig Wright, a UK judge declared that Craig Wright is not the creator of Bitcoin known as Satoshi Nakamoto.

The Crypto Open Patent Alliance achieved success in the UK court against Wright. Justice James Mellor, overseeing the case, stated that Wright did not write the Bitcoin white paper, never used Nakamoto's pseudonym, did not invent Bitcoin, and was not behind the original versions of the network. Further legal actions will be addressed in a written judgment with an extended timeline for filing any appeals.

The trial, which began in February and concluded recently, settled a legal dispute initiated by COPA in 2021. COPA aimed to prevent Wright from pursuing legal actions against members of the cryptocurrency and developer communities. The decision was hailed as a victory for developers, the open-source community, and truth, ending years of misinformation propagated by Wright and his supporters regarding his identity as Satoshi Nakamoto.

Justice Mellor, supported by COPA's evidence, found overwhelmingly against Wright. The crypto industry responded to the ruling with various stakeholders and commentators expressing their views. Kraken's spokesperson highlighted Satoshi's vision of decentralization in creating Bitcoin to prevent control by any single entity and welcomed the court's recognition of the evidence proving that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto.
