A British court granted an appeal on July 20 that gave Craig Wright the right to argue in litigation that the file format is well-defined enough to qualify for copyright protection.

Wright, who since 2016 has claimed to be the inventor of Bitcoin (BTC), launched a lawsuit against 13 Bitcoin Core developers and a group of companies, including Blockstream, Coinbase (NASDAQ:) and Block, alleging violation of his copyright to the Bitcoin white paper, its file format and database rights to the Bitcoin blockchain.
