ENS founder Nick Johnson stated that he is "prepared to actively defend" against a intellectual property dispute with competitor Unstoppable Domains. Domain services aim to simplify the use of blockchain by providing human-readable domain names. Johnson stated that he only wants to defend ENS's work and the principle of open-source code, not patents. He hopes that future internet infrastructure will be open and "non-profit public products, not operated by for-profit companies."
