Hey everyone,
I just heard some crazy news about the design world. Apparently, a well-known design software company sent a cease-and-desist letter to a smaller competitor because of its use of ‘Dev Mode’ in its product. I feel that ‘Dev Mode’ is a common term that many in the industry use without issue.
What are your thoughts on this matter? Is it reasonable for a company to restrict such a generic phrase? Could this move affect other design or development tools in the future? I’m looking forward to hearing your opinions on this potentially precedent-setting action.
