2019: Searches in the house at the initiative of Rambler

On December 13, 2019 it became known of searches which passed houses at founders of Nginx  Igor Sysoyev and Maxim Konovalov.

To me OMONs with submachine gunners came at seven in the morning — Konovalov told the Forbes magazine.

He reported that according to the results of searches at Konovalov and Sysoyeva notebooks and mobile devices took away. Then they were delivered to interrogation which lasted about four hours. Konovalov did not begin to disclose interrogation details.

Searches passed also in the Moscow office Nginx. Law enforcement officers withdrew documentation and the equipment from the company. The search was carried out  within the criminal case brought on  an initiative "Rambler the Internet holding".

We  found out that the exclusive right of Rambler Internet Holding company to  the nginx Web server is violated  as a result of actions of the third parties. We  consider that the rights to  nginx belong to the Rambler Internet Holding company which is  a part of Rambler Group. nginx is the office work in which development since  the beginning of the 2000th years  within labor relations with  Rambler Igor Sysoyev was engaged. Therefore any use of this program without the consent of Rambler Group is violation of the exclusive right, says Rambler Group.

Rambler Group transferred the rights to presentation of claims and claims to Cyprus company of Lynwood Investments CY Ltd which is connected with the co-owner of Rambler Group Alexander Mamut.

According to Maxim Konovalov, Rambler did not make to Nginx any claim within eight years since he left.  The entrepreneur connects actions of Internet holding with sale of Nginx of the American company F5.

If we did not sell the company, either sold cheap, or were ruined, then nothing it would be — Konovalov is sure.

Founders of Nginx  are going to develop plans of protection.^[1]
