Estonian company: Pavel Durov stole our personal data storage tool

Digital company Cryptocean OÜ believes that Telegram would soon use a passport service suspiciously resembling their own inventions, as reported by several websites about digital market news.

The corresponding case has already been registered in the Zamoskvorechye District Court in Moscow. The representatives of the defendant have not commented the case yet, although one can safely assume they would deny the allegations. The plaintiff - founder of this Estonian company Yuri Myshinskiy - is cited as saying:

“The functions, interface and operating principles are all copied from Cryptocean products.”

Telegram is a messenger which is now actively developing a new platform called TON (Telegram Open Network). The platform will have its own tokens - Grams - and there has already been a copyright infringement case on who has the right to use this brand, Pavel Durov’s company or an American establishment which has successfully registered it.

Interestingly, TON’s public ICO was abandoned likely after the huge success of two private stages. One can read more on TON investments in a separate material on Bitnewstoday.
