Banks may rail against Bitcoin, but they are quietly pushing ahead on adopting blockchain. Implementing new technology won't be easy for the established banks, given their legacy systems and the huge amount of data which would have to be migrated. But banks (including Bank of America) would still like to sit on these patents.
The patents cornered by Craig Wright seem to be a joke to me. He seems to be trying to make up for not being accepted as the real Satoshi.
