PANews reported on November 3 that according to Protos, "Australian Cong" Craig Wright argued that due to his severe autism and Christmas schedule, he was unable to attend the December court meeting after he was accused of contempt of court in a legal application filed by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA).

Bird and Bird, the law firm representing the Crypto Open Patent Alliance, claims that Craig Wright violated his injunction after removing online notices and filing lawsuits against Jack Dorsey’s Square Up and BTC Core.

In addition, the Crypto Open Patent Alliance seeks to suspend Wright's lawsuit and suspend related court proceedings until the contempt of court lawsuit is resolved. Jonathan Hough, an attorney for the Crypto Open Patent Alliance, said, "Wright is trying to evade the consequences of his actions. He may want to avoid the police or avoid being detained."
