The modular PC company just shared an email from Lenovo\u2019s lawyers, who believe that the 3D-printable Framework case violates Lenovo LEGION trademarks. And it\u2019s all because of a power button.<\/p>\n<p>This is a somewhat frustrating situation. For those who missed it, Framework launched a free and 3D-printable desktop PC case design in April. The idea is that customers can turn an old Framework laptop mainboard into a dedicated desktop computer, or even purchase a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/frame.work\/gb\/en\/marketplace\/mainboards\">standalone mainboard<\/a> for the project.<\/p>\n<p>But because this is a 3D-printed case with zero off-the-shelf hardware, it uses a \u201ccutout\u201d power button. You can see it in the above image\u2014a loosely-attached circle of plastic that\u2019s flexible enough to serve as a power \u201cbutton.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lenovo believes that this button violates its LEGION trademarks, specifically the \u201cbroken O\u201d in the LEGION logo. Lawyers at the company reached out to Framework via an email, which you can see in the tweet below.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lenovo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Lenovo<\/a> legal team says we have to change the power button on our 3D printed case, so we\u2019re opening up a Community contest! Whoever can come up with the best new power button design gets a free i5-1135G7 Mainboard. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aBM3xRIzTF\">pic.twitter.com\/aBM3xRIzTF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Framework (@FrameworkPuter) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FrameworkPuter\/status\/1560317928397889537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 18, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>We believe that the Broken O Case may infringe Lenovo\u2019s trademark rights in the LEGION<br \/>Trademarks, and may ultimately lead to consumer confusion. In other words, consumers could believe that\u00a0Framework\u2019s Broken O Case or the motherboards they cover are produced by, sponsored, endorsed,\u00a0licensed, or otherwise affiliated with Lenovo, when that is not the case.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lenovo\u2019s legal statement is questionable, obviously. But Framework is smart enough to roll with the punches. Instead of putting up a fight, Framework asks its fans and customers to help design a new power button. And whoever creates the winning design will receive a prize!<\/p>\n<p>So, this is a contest. Framework will accept entries until August 25th at 11:59pm PST. The chosen winner will score a free\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/frame.work\/gb\/en\/products\/mainboard?v=FRANFG000A\">i5-1135G7 Mainboard<\/a>, which they can pair with a 3D-printed Framework desktop case.<\/p>\n<p>You can submit your new power button design in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FrameworkPuter\/status\/1560317928397889537\">Framework\u2019s Twitter thread<\/a>.
