Maybe two tech companies, Figma and Lovable, are starting a fight. Figma sent a letter to Lovable.
The letter says Lovable cannot use the name "Dev Mode" for a new part of their product. Figma has a part called "Dev Mode" too. Figma got the right to use this name last year. This is from the government office in the U.S.
"Dev mode" is a common name in products for people who write computer programs. It is like a mode for changing things. Big companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft use "developer mode," which people call "dev mode."
Many people use "dev mode". For example, one company used it before. Many free programs also use this name.
Figma says 'Dev Mode' is a special name. But 'developer mode' is not a special name.
Figma sends letters to keep its name. If it does not, it can lose the name.
Some people online say the name is too common. They think it should not be a trademark. They say Lovable must fight.
Anton Osika says his company will not change the name.
We will see what Figma does. Figma is busy because it wants to sell shares soon. If Figma goes to court, it can cost a lot for the Swedish company, Lovable.
You can tell Lovable what you want with words, and it makes it for you.
Lovable says it is a good tool for designers.
This is not just about a name. A big company wants to stop a small, new company. Last year, Figma was worth a lot of money.
Figma says other companies can use the word because their products are different.
Osika from Lovable says Figma should make their product good. He says Lovable takes customers from Figma.
Dylan Field said these products were not a big problem.
Field said people like vibe coding because it is fast. But they also need to finish. This is hard for design and code.
Osika looks ready to compete too. He put the letter on X and used a happy face.
