Brian is just another entry in the "empty suit" school of business ethics.
He filed first because "they're agile"? Riiiight. In the same article he says that patent filings increase company value, which is clearly the goal here.
He'll "look into" open-sourcing the patents if awarded? Riiiight, there's nothing legally that would compel them if they actually get these patents.
All I'm seeing here is a mealy-mouthed economist/CEO playing soothsayer so people won't roast his company alive at the stake.
Coinbase, you can take your patent applications and shove them up your anglo-saxon ass.
