Australian man Craig Wright’s claim he invented bitcoin to be considered by UK court

London's high court allowing Wright to pursue operator-publisher of bitcoin.org over what he says is copyright infringement

An Australian computer scientist who claims he created bitcoin is taking legal action in the United Kingdom, which could force the court to rule on whether he is indeed the cryptocurrency's inventor.

London's high court this week allowed Craig Wright's lawyers to pursue the operator and publisher of the bitcoin.org website, called Cobra, over what they say is copyright infringement, according to documents filed in court seen by Reuters.
