The Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA) and Unified Patents have launched the Blockchain Zone initiative to protect blockchain developers from "patent trolls." This campaign is aimed at combating non-practicing entities (NPEs), which hold patents without creating products and often use expensive lawsuits to pressure companies into costly settlements.

Protection of Innovations

NPEs account for 58% of court cases in the US. The Blockchain Zone brings together over 300 companies to protect blockchain technologies from unfounded lawsuits. COPA also provides participants with protection against unnecessary litigation, which is important for smaller developers. Unified Patents has a successful track record in fighting patent claims, and the new initiative aims to protect blockchain from similar threats.
