Craig Wright’s Appeal in the UK Courts
Craig Wright has lodged an appeal with the UK courts, marking a new chapter in the legal battle. Bird & Bird, the representative firm of the Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance COPA, has confirmed this latest development. The UK Court of Appeal received the appeal request on 14 August, and now the decision on whether to accept the appeal hinges on the presence of clear errors or omissions in the prior judgment. Questions have been raised about the timeliness of Wright’s application submission, with Bird & Bird asserting that the appeal lacks merit and will respond accordingly.
Dispute Over Wright’s Appeal Date
There is a dispute regarding the nature of Wright’s appeal date. Some delays in filing documents may be attributed to the mandatory 21-day post-judgment filing requirement, while others may be genuine delays. Protos reported that no appeal had been filed by the original deadline of August 5, adding complexity to the situation.
Wright’s Refutation of AI Use Claims in Appeal
Wright’s appeal drew attention to the use of artificial intelligence, sparking a debate within the legal community. One user, potentially a patent attorney, expressed opinions on AI’s role in preparing appeals, but Wright dismissed these claims. Despite criticisms, Wright maintained the integrity of his legal arguments and emphasized that his work was not AI-driven. COPA, through its legal representation, has stood firm in its position on the appeal, and the court awaits a decision on the next steps regarding Wright’s claim.
