Figma Fires Legal Salvo at Lovable Over 'Dev Mode' Trademark
Summary
In a clash of design titans, Figma fired a legal shot at Lovable, demanding the startup change its 'Dev Mode' feature name due to trademark infringement, setting the stage for a potential showdown between the rivals in the rapidly evolving vibe coding arena.
Key Points
- Figma sent a cease-and-desist letter to Lovable over the term 'Dev Mode', which Figma trademarked last year.
- Lovable, a rising 'vibe coding' startup, has no intention of honoring Figma's demand to change the feature's name.
- The dispute highlights a potential feud between the competitors, as Lovable advertises itself as an alternative to Figma.
