In response to the accusations made by the founders of ENS that Unstoppable Domains stole the ENS technology to obtain patents, Matthew Gould, CEO of Unstoppable, said: "Given the changing landscape of the industry, it is impossible to make any meaningful forward-looking guarantees. In my opinion, the only solution is to strengthen cooperation and discussion. ”
In addition, Gould said: "We refute the allegation that we are stealing ENS's intellectual property. We patented the technology we built ourselves and used it in our system, which is different from the system built by ENS. ”
"The goal of the Web3 Domain Alliance is to help the Web3 domain name industry, avoid conflicts and develop standards, and the ENS is asking us to open source all of our patents, which ignores the fact that we have reached out to collaborate through our non-assertion commitment, which the ENS has not yet accepted," Gould said. ”(CoinDesk)
Previously, nick.eth, the head of NS development, issued an open letter on the X platform, accusing Unstoppable Domains of plagiarizing many of the innovative achievements of ENS, such as the US11558344 on blockchain domain name resolution.
nick.eth said that ENS had communicated with Unstoppable Domains several times without success, and then he felt that the matter should be made public. The ENS side asked Unstoppable Domains to publicly license its patents to anyone and eliminate the negative effects of these patent applications, otherwise the ENS side was ready to challenge these patents.
