Uniswap wins a crucial battle! U.S. court dismisses Bancor patent lawsuit, a major positive development for DeFi automated market makers

On February 11, news, the U.S. Southern District of New York Federal District Court made an important ruling, dismissing the patent infringement lawsuit filed by Bprotocol Foundation and LocalCoin Ltd. related to Bancor against Uniswap. Judge John G. Koeltl stated in a memorandum opinion issued on February 10 that the patents involved are essentially "abstract concepts" and do not meet the patentability standards under U.S. patent law. The case centered around the "Constant Product Automated Market Maker" model, which is one of the core liquidity pricing mechanisms in decentralized finance. The plaintiffs claimed that Uniswap illegally used their automated pricing and liquidity pool technology, but the court held that these patents only involve "fundamental economic practices of calculating currency exchange rates for trading," and even if implemented on blockchain and smart contracts, they do not qualify for patent protection.
