The ongoing legal battle between the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) and Australian computer scientist Craig Wright has taken a new turn. Wright submitted a staggering 164,000 pages of documents as evidence supporting his claim to be the creator of Bitcoin, known by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.
The Crypto Open Patent Alliance now has to go through 164000 pages to prove Wright wrong. This follows Wright’s earlier revelation on February 12th that he would rely on a box of documents discovered by his wife in their attic to bolster his case.
Naturally, many who doubted Wright, such as BitMEX Research, questioned why, if Wright was truly the mastermind behind Bitcoin, he needed so many pages. In the end, he just needed 150 bytes, one transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain, to establish his identity.
One of the first surviving Bitcoiners, Martti Malmi, testified as a witness and was subjected to cross-examination on the thirteenth day of COPA v. Wright. Following a break, Adam Back was sworn in as a witness in the UK High Court of Justice.
The COPA lawsuit, supported by prominent crypto players like Coinbase, Kraken, Block, and MicroStrategy, aims to invalidate Wright’s patent claims related to Bitcoin.
