Two companies that make computer things might have a problem. One company, Figma, sent a letter to the other company, Lovable.
The letter says Lovable cannot use the name 'Dev Mode' for their new thing. Another company, Figma, has a thing called 'Dev Mode'. Figma got the name for themselves last year. The U.S. office for names says so.
"Dev mode" is a name for a special setting in some computer programs. It helps people who write programs. Big companies like Apple and Google use this name.
Many people use the name 'dev mode'. For example, one company used it before another company. Many computer programs also use this name.
Figma says the name 'Dev Mode' is just for that short name. It is not for the long name 'developer mode'. It is like saying 'bug' means 'fixing bugs'.
Figma sent letters to protect its name. If they don't, anyone can use the name.
Some people online say the name is common. They say it should not be a trademark. They say Lovable must fight.
The boss of Lovable says "no" to changing the name.
We will see what Figma does. Figma is busy. Figma wants to sell shares. If Figma goes to court, it will cost a lot for the Swedish company.
Lovable is good at making websites from your ideas. You write what you want, and Lovable makes it with code.
Lovable says it is like Figma, but it is easier to use. Many new companies use it.
It is not just about a name. A big company is angry at a small, new company. Figma was worth a lot of money last year.
A person from Figma said something similar.
Osika says Figma should make their product good. He says Lovable is taking customers from Figma and other tools.
The boss of Figma said these products are not a big problem.
He said people like vibe coding because it is fast, but it is hard to finish the work.
Osika also seems ready to compete. He used a happy emoji.
