Judge Rules Against Wright
Judge James Mellor ruled that the file format of Bitcoin Cash is protected by copyright, going against Wright's claims. The judge found that Wright failed to show how the file format of Bitcoin was first recorded and, therefore, could not be treated as literary work. Mellor stated that no relevant work had been identified containing content that defines the structure of the Bitcoin file format.
