此種跡象或預示著新興科技產業內競爭對手之間一觸即發的衝突,Figma 針對知名無程式碼 AI 新創公司 Lovable 祭出停止使用通知,此消息已由 Figma 向 TechCrunch 證實。

該告示諭令 Lovable 摒棄「Dev Mode」此一命名,不得再用於其新產品功能,蓋依美國專利與商標局之紀錄顯示,Figma 實已擁有此項名為「Dev Mode」之功能,且於去年遂行該商標之註冊。

令人咋舌的是,「開發模式」已然蛻變為眾多軟體工程師導向產品中的常用語彙,其地位堪比編譯器中的某一特定編輯模式。從蘋果 iOS、Google Chrome 再至微軟 Xbox 等科技巨擘所推出的軟體產品,無不搭載名為「開發者模式」的功能,並在相關文獻中被戲稱為「開發模式」。

即便是「開發模式」這個術語本身,其普及程度亦非同一般,遠在 Figma 申請版權註冊之前,諸如 Atlassian 等公司便已在其產品中頻繁採用此詞彙,而且這更是浩瀚無涯的開源軟體專案中一個司空見慣的功能命名。

Figma向TechCrunch闡明其商標權限,僅囿於快捷詞組「Dev Mode」,而非涵蓋廣義之「developer mode」完整表述;此舉某種程度上形同企圖對「bug」一詞申請商標,以代表「debugging」之概念,其本質上帶有語言邊界模糊的微妙況味。

既然 Figma 意欲壟斷該專有名詞之使用權,遂不得不發布停止使用通知以捍衛其商標專有性(誠如 X 平台眾議所指,此通知語氣堪稱委婉),蓋若不強力維護其獨特性,該專有名詞極有可能被普遍使用而導致商標失去法律效力。

在網際網路論壇上,有論者抨擊此術語已淪為尋常詞彙,不應獲准註冊為商標,並呼籲 Lovable 應堅定抗爭,捍衛公共領域。

Lovable 的共同創辦人兼執行長 Anton Osika 向 TechCrunch 闡明,公司目前無意屈從於 Figma 的要求,亦不打算更易該功能之名。

Figma是否會進一步加劇這場爭端,其動向仍有待觀察,畢竟其尚有其他戰略佈局。週二,Figma宣布已機密遞交首次公開募股(IPO)文件。然而,倘若Figma訴諸法律途徑,對於這家二月甫完成1500萬美元種子輪融資的瑞典新創公司Lovable而言,一場跨國法律戰恐將耗資甚鉅,甚至可能危及其永續經營。

饒富興味的是,Lovable 在所謂「vibe coding」的生態中嶄露頭角,此範式賦予使用者藉由文字提示闡述需求的能力,進而促使產品自動構築,甚至囊括程式碼的生成。其旬日前發布的「dev mode」功能,正為使用者提供了修訂這些自動生成程式碼的權限。

Lovable 標榜為 Figma 的勁敵,在其官方網站的顯要位置宣稱,設計師毋需在 Figma 等工具中進行冗贅的原型建構,即可藉由 Lovable 達成目的;此種理念與眾多新創公司的思維模式不謀而合。

是以,這樁商標紛爭實則為強權巨頭與破格新銳之間一場引人矚目的對壘,尤以 Figma 在約莫一載前已坐擁高達 125 億美元的市場估值觀之,更顯其非比尋常。

Figma 的一位發言人近乎證實了這項論述,該人士向 TechCrunch 申明,Figma 未就此術語向其他科技公司(例如 Microsoft)遞送停止使用通知,其核心考量在於這些企業之產品歸屬「迥異的商品與服務範疇」。

而 Lovable 的 Osika 則準備大展宏圖,他向 TechCrunch 披露,他認為「Figma 應該潛心精進產品,而非汲汲於商標營銷」。他亦揭示,Lovable 在這大語言模型(LLMs)的紀元,正成功地從 Figma 與其他誕生於 LLMs 萌芽期前的設計工具手中,開疆闢土,攫取客源。

至於 vibe coding 產品對構成整體威脅的疑慮,在上個月與 Y Combinator 總裁 Garry Tan 的深度對談中,Figma 共同創辦人暨執行長 Dylan Field 對其進行了毫不掩飾的駁斥。

Field闡述,儘管人們對vibe coding的迅捷性趨之若鶩,我們仍應致力於開闢一條途徑,使人們不僅能迅速展開並製作原型,更能臻至終極目標。箇中悖論,不獨見於設計領域,程式碼亦然,此乃其精微之處。

Osika 顯然已秣馬厲兵,準備迎戰,他在 X 平台分享 Figma 來函副本時,甚至附上一個令人噴飯的表情符號。
