Judge James Mellor has ruled against <a href="https://coingape.com/craig-wright-faces-industrial-forgery-claims-in-copa-bitcoin-trial/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Craig Wright</a>, the Australian computer scientist who has long claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. The ruling was given after a trial filed by Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) in London.
Judge Mellor’s ruling clearly states that Craig Wright is not an author of the Bitcoin whitepaper and that he is not a creator of a popular cryptocurrency. Therefore, this decision is an important moment in the history of Bitcoin, which could put an end to years of speculation and legal wrangling over who the true <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-cto-david-schwartz-debunks-craig-wrights-claim-to-be-satoshi-nakamoto/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Satoshi Nakamoto </a>is.

As such, the case developed after COPA attempts to protect open access to cryptocurrency technology and prevent Wright from obtaining intellectual property rights over the technology of Bitcoin. COPA, a coalition that aims to preserve openness in the cryptocurrency universe, filed a legal suit against Wright with the intention of disputing his claims of being the creator of Bitcoin.
COPA produced evidence in the course of the trial to show that Wright’s claims were unreliable. The alliance claimed that the alleged fabrication of documents and biographic history by Wright discredited him as the real author of Bitcoin. Notwithstanding Wright’s repeated contentions, the court considered the evidence against him to be “overwhelming,” thereby ruling in favor of COPA’s.

<h2 id="strong-court-ruling-challenges-satoshi-nakamoto-identity-claims-strong">Court Ruling Challenges Satoshi Nakamoto Identity Claims</h2>
Craig Wright’s claim that he is Satoshi Nakamoto has been refused with doubt and controversy since he <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-market-pumps-dumps-after-u-s-fed-chair-speech/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">appeared in 2016</a>. Although some people have paid attention to Wright’s allegations, as supported by several, the majority of people from the cryptocurrency community have wanted a lot of evidence for his claimed role in the birth of Bitcoin.
The litigation COPA against Wright is proof of how the cryptocurrency community takes seriously his accusations. The coalition requested a court order that would prohibit Wright from declaring himself Nakamoto, claiming that it was alleged that he had forged extensive documents to support his assertion.
Legal hearings that started on the 5th of February ended with Judge Mellor’s outright decision against Craig Wright. The verdict is considered an important advancement in the debate concerning Satoshi Nakamoto’s real identity.
