Trademark violation: Fake Notepad++ for Mac
- omblivion 5mo agoIt is astonishing how blatant people can be. How do they imagine they won't be immediately called out? Hopefully the domain and the app on the app store gets taken down soon.
- odie5533 5mo agoHe probably didn't know it was trademarked, and probably didn't think people would get upset, and he's now trying to make it right. Why assume malice on this guy?
- efilife 5mo ago> I've shipped fintech and risk products at Moody's, BNY, AxiomSL, Amex and many more. I've built platforms, designed user experiences, assembled portfolio analytics and worked on professional services teams. He seems to have enough experience to know how trademarks work
- layer8 5mo agoGP isn’t assuming malice, they are wondering how someone can be so foolish or naive.
- tristor 5mo ago> He probably didn't know it was trademarked The fact it's trademarked provides the original project more legal protections, but regardless of whether or not a trademark is registered it's clearly unethical to use another project's name without prior permission. If it weren't a trademark violation, it'd still be wrong, so the knowledge of whether or not it was registered as a trademark is basically irrelevant.
- kube-system 5mo agoSomeone who understands trademark law knows that it doesn't even matter whether it is a registered trademark... because it is well known enough to clearly be an unregistered trademark by default.
- karel-3d 5mo agoThe app seems to be entirely vibe-coded. ("multi-agent AI development workflows are what make a one-person project at this scale practical") However the author says he will "move from the branding".
- odie5533 5mo agoI suspect we will not see a non-vibe-coded app again. I think such days are in the past now.
- dzhiurgis 5mo agoI hope he calls it something like Notepad+++
- canucker2016 5mo agotypically trademark names that can be mistaken for another trademark in the same category are not allowed.
- hackinthebochs 5mo agoIronically, like "notepad". I always find it odd how infringers feel ownership and get defensive about their infringement. Like release groups getting pissy about people reposting/renaming their releases.
- debugnik 5mo agoWindows Notepad isn't a standalone product, but a Windows feature that has its title localized into every language as part of Windows, none of which are registered as a trademark. And should it be considered a commercial product, Notepad alone is too generic so the trademark would probably be Windows/Microsoft Notepad, just like products named Something-Office both predate and followed Microsoft Office.

- FinnKuhn 5mo agoUsing the trademark is one thing. The authors brazen reaction another: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/17982 https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issue...
- 47282847 5mo agoTo me he sounds inexperienced/naive and a little scared (and thus “defensive”) but well-intentioned. His response makes me believe that he didn’t do it for fame, to deceive, or other selfish reasons.
- AureliusMA 5mo agoI don't believe that he is naive. It looks like he wants to use the Notepad++ brand authority to capture the notepad++ macos market (which is big!) Thus he is infringing on a trademark for his own benefit.
- deleted 5mo ago[deleted]
- Matl 5mo ago> capture the notepad++ macos market Is it big? Notepad++ is big in the Windows world but I am not certain that it is automatically big on Mac. They have much more Mac-native feeling editors like TextMate, Nova, Cot, even SublimeText feels more macOS-ishy than Notepad++ I am on Linux, Notepad++ is not a name of concern on here at all and if it ever came to Linux most people wouldn't notice. If you're in the Windows world that might seem like an improbability given how big it is there, but trust me, it's not a well known name anywhere else.
- lukan 5mo ago"I am on Linux, Notepad++ is not a name of concern on here at all and if it ever came to Linux most people wouldn't notice." Strong disagree. The thing I miss in linux most is notepad++ or something as capable and usable (open for suggestions, but chances are I already tried them)
- f3408fh 5mo agoFFS. I installed it after seeing it here on HN and on MacRumors. Terrible failure on my part but MacRumors should offer an apology for endorsing this fake release.
- nguyenkien 5mo agoFirst thing I do is check official notepad++ website. I didn't see anything, that what's stop me.
- f3408fh 5mo agoSmart. Good on you for noticing it wasn’t the real website.
- AureliusMA 5mo agoThis is such a blow for MacRumors... I won't be taking them seriously anymore after this. They are complicit.
- f3408fh 5mo agoMe neither. So far all I see is a puny "[Updated]" title on the article with no apology or indication of what was updated.
- pndy 5mo agoAn apology? That'd be... breaking news /s
- odie5533 5mo agoThe National Enquirer publishing rumors and gossip?! I'll never read them again!

- AureliusMA 5mo agoYes
- voidUpdate 5mo agoyes https://data.inpi.fr/marques/FR5133202 https://data.inpi.fr/marques/FR5133202
- FinnKuhn 5mo agoSo, it's a French trademark. Not a lawyer, but from what I remember trademarks need to be registered in every region you want to enforce them in separately. If the author of "Notepad++ for Mac" doesn't happen to be French as well, is there anything (legally) preventing them from using this trademark?
- voidUpdate 5mo agoIf a mac user is in France, does the software they use have to abide by French laws?
- layer8 5mo agoSoftware that is being distributed in France must abide by French laws.
- IshKebab 5mo agoThat's not correct. You don't have to register a trademark in order for it to be protected, it's just recommended because if you do register it you don't have to separately prove that you have built up brand reputation. That should be pretty easy for a project as old and well-known as this though.
- 5mo ago
- x187463 5mo agoJust needs to update the site to make it clear it's an independent port of the project. Then, modify the name to MacPad++ or something. Good to go.
- LeCompteSftware 5mo agoTo be clear in the GitHub thread Don Ho repeatedly encouraged him to do this, and said it was cool that he was trying to bring Notepad++ to Mac! Just don't make it look like Don Ho and the rest of the team is responsible for any quality issues. Don't use the logo! "Objective-Notepad" was right there.
- ErroneousBosh 5mo ago> "Objective-Notepad" was right there. It still is. There's only a handful of hits on Google for that, too. You should do it. I'd do it if I had a Mac and used Notepad++ ;-)
- mghackerlady 5mo agoObjective C is a nice language, it's a shame it only really caught on because apple bought next
- tencentshill 5mo agoTextEdit++ is a lot more fitting anyways.
- kelvinjps10 5mo agoBy the name the domain has probably use another domain too
- andai 5mo agoNot to be confused with https://notepadexe.com/ https://notepadexe.com/
- hmokiguess 5mo agoOh cool, this one reminded me of https://www.codeedit.app/ https://www.codeedit.app/ I like the lightweight take!
- gverrilla 5mo agoIt's the Trump pattern: break all rules to benefit yourself until someone or something stops you. USA has not yet reached this clarity.
- user3939382 5mo ago[dead]
- ares623 5mo ago(posting my comment from the other thread) Hilarious. How long does it take to vibecode the requests to change the logo and name. Vibecoding a port from scratch is super fast as long as you don't need permission huh. Then when the adults ask you to not infringe on copyright, it's all "please be patient guys. I am boy. Give me one week pls."
- Bender 5mo agoA similar thing happened for OTR recently. [1] Is the AI naming the vibe coded projects? Many of these are getting submitted to /newest [1] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47997919 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47997919

- albertzeyer 5mo agoWhy not just getting the changes/extensions upstream, welcome the Mac dev on the team, and make it an official port?
- lukan 5mo agoMaybe there are trust issues now? I certainly would refuse to work with someone who comes and steals my brand, pretends I am on board with this and refuses to comply even after being called out.
- f3408fh 5mo agoYou don’t adopt an unofficial fork just because it exists. Showing up with a clone isn’t the same as meeting the standards required to be part of the original project
- dewey 5mo agoThat might have been a possibility if brought forward in an open and reasonable way, a bit harder to trust someone once they just vibe adopted the project someone was working on for decades and didn't seen an issue with that. Also "just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
- LeCompteSftware 5mo agoNobody else has pointed this out, but a MacOS port of Notepad++ actually goes against some of the branding. Notepad++ very much markets itself as a lightweight and speedy thing that uses the low-level Win32 API directly. It is not just a native application, it is a Windows-native application. Porting it to macOS requires a level of care and expertise which is tantamount to changing the entire organization. I am sure the Notepad++ team is perfectly fine focusing on Windows expertise and has no interest in bringing in the overhead of another OS. If a serious macOS expert wants to do that, they can fork the project with a different name. BTW look at the GitHub issues. This is a lazy developer creating a slop project. It would be stupid to bring this incompetent and dishonest person on board.
- tencentshill 5mo agoThe "author" couldn't tell you the why behind any of the original design decisions. It's vibecoded, they never had to know. They would be a terrible teammate with no actual understanding of the project.
- i_think_so 5mo agoPlenty of very thoughtful comments so far about copyright, community, developers who might not speak English as a first language, .... Very few people mentioning the obvious: MALICIOUS BINARY! Did we learn nothing from the xz malware fiasco? One update quietly pushed out at night while nobody's paying attention and boom.
- temporallobe 5mo agoI wasn’t even aware a native port was available for Mac. I tried it with Wine and it was awful. These days my colleagues and I are using Zed as the de facto high-performance text editor.
- yokoprime 5mo agoI would not trust this "Notepad++ for Mac" at all. The author of the "port", aka Vibe Coded slop, Andrey Letov has absolutely zero commits anywhere before he suddenly vibes up this mac release. He brands it as an official Notepad++ version, is slimy in the way he interacts with the Notepad++ team etc. I would not be surprised if theres some sort of back door or malware attack vector embedded in this software. Stay away! Remember the XZ Utils backdoor!
- amiga386 5mo agoHeck, even remember that state-level actors abused a flaw in NPP's update mechanism and hijacked NPP's hosting provider to deliver malware to specific targets: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-update/ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-up... There are a lot of NPP users out there, and probably the most important thing, given that they use it to edit all their files, is that they can trust the software. Some rando out of nowhere saying they've written "NPP for Mac" is red flag central.
- ButlerianJihad 5mo agoSo would you say that the Notepad++ author got Letov with a technicality?
- kaiwn 5mo agoThis is so sloppy I really doubt this is an attempt at malware. It’s more likely the author is, uh, “socially unaware”.
- yahyabahhaoui 5mo agowhats the point on doing that? is it a malware or some kind of trojan?
- kjs3 5mo agoNot that that isn't a possibility (now muted), but you don't have to speculate on a grand conspiracy when 'just an asshole' will suffice.
- deleted 5mo ago[deleted]
- redbell 5mo agoVisiting the referenced website (https://notepad-plus-plus-mac.org/ https://notepad-plus-plus-mac.org/), the first thing I see is a big, green Announcement that says: In coordination with Don Ho, the creator of the original Notepad++, I'll be evolving the branding of the macOS version so it stands on its own while respecting its lineage. These updates, such as a new logo, a refined name, and likely a new domain will ship with version 1.0.6 in the coming days. Continuity for existing users is a priority, and I'll make the transition as seamless as I can. Thank you for your patience. Did Don Ho really coordinated with this author?! If no then why he lies and he knows he is lying? Where this path leads to?! Really weird times to be alive!!
- sleepybrett 5mo agocoordination must mean, 'i've been threatened legally by'
- Fokamul 5mo agoAnyone from Moody's, BNY, AxiomSL, Amex. Who knew "Andrey Letov" and can contact him on his personal email/phone to verify? Author of Mac notepad github repo claims he worked there, https://aletik.me/ https://aletik.me/ (1 month old personal website), he also has new Github and new Linkedin. https://github.com/aletik https://github.com/aletik If someone has reverse image search platform, use his github profile picture. There is another Linkedin profile, with same guy, but slightly different picture.
- throwaway2037 5mo agoThe latest issue comment from Don Ho is lookin' fiery! I love me some open source drama... https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/17982#issuecomment-4371349702 https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issue... > Every day that website remains active, you are in further violation of the law. I cannot authorize a "week or two" of continued trademark infringement. > Please take down the domain immediately so you can focus on your rebranding efforts without legal interference. If the site is not removed, I will have no choice but to escalate the takedown request.
- doctorpangloss 5mo agookay, but wouldn't the best solution be to simply release an official macOS port? nowadays it would be cheaper than paying a lawyer to write a letter haha
- b3ing 5mo agoHe might not have a Mac to test it on or care to code it. It’s open source, they work on what they want after all they don’t get paid. If he was donated a Mac and enough money in sure he might look into it
- Fwirt 5mo agoIt's not just that, Notepad++ is built around Win32 APIs and is designed for Windows. He's got some non-portable optimizations baked in. At its core, Notepad++ is just another Scintilla wrapper (like SciTE or Textadept) but it's targeted at and optimized for Windows. There will not be a Mac or Linux port. If you want an editor with the same core as Notepad++, but fewer batteries included and more extensibility, Textadept is worth a look.
- greatquux 5mo agoI use Notepad++ on WINE and it works very well, doubtless it could be done on macOS too.
- garganzol 5mo ago[flagged]
- matsemann 5mo agoNo, GPL gives you access to the source code, not the trademark. The reaction by the N++ author is perfectly in order.
- brovonov 5mo ago> At the end, it boils down to money: there are tons of ads on Notepad++ website, so having a competitive offering like "Notepad++ for Mac" threatens that business strategy. Tons of ads? Really? I had to turn off my adblocker to check, but there is a single ad block on the bottom left. Is that considered a ton?
- kube-system 5mo agoArch Linux would be in trouble for using the Linux name if they didn't license the trademark. But they do! Have you looked at https://archlinux.org/ https://archlinux.org/ ? Scroll to the bottom of the page, you will see: > The registered trademark Linux® is used pursuant to a sublicense from LMI, the exclusive licensee of Linus Torvalds, owner of the mark on a world-wide basis.
- netruk44 5mo agoWith all this discussion about Notepad++ finally being ported to Mac, I thought I’d drop a link to a previous attempt at a “port” that I’d heard of. Notepad Next: https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext It’s a (still work in progress) cross platform re-implementation of Notepad++. It also predates agentic coding, if that’s something that concerns you.
- RIMR 5mo agoNotepad++ is GPL, and this fork has followed the rules of that license. Other GPL projects have unofficial forks that didn't change the name or logo for the software in the process, and it mostly seems fine. FreeBSD ports are probably a good example of these in the wild. Listing the original author as an author of the port is a requirement of the GPL, and the language used on this website makes it clear that Dan is the original author of the Windows release, and not the developer of the Mac release. The only thing I see as an issue here is how the author of the port, Andrey, has failed to directly indicate that this is an unofficial port anywhere on the website, and is promoting this as if it were official. He does seem to be some engaging in some shameless self-promotion, and I understand how the open source community would not appreciate someone vibe-porting a popular GPL tool, and then acting like they own part of the official project now. In that respect, I do see a trademark violation.
- xbar 5mo agoTrademark violation is the problem. It is a sufficiently significant problem.
- kstrauser 5mo ago> FreeBSD ports are probably a good example of these in the wild. FreeBSD ports are nearly always tiny patches on a project together it to compile on that OS, and look for its config in /usr/local/etc instead of /etc. It is the original software plus minimal tweaks. Linux distros do the exact same thing. When you install a Debian package, you’re getting Debian’s patched version. Same for RedHat, Homebrew, and nearly every other package manager. The fork we’re discussing here is a rewrite of the original in a different language while still calling it the original name.
- WesolyKubeczek 5mo agoI see a Russian name, I assume very cavalier approach to copyright and trademark laws, especially if it is about someone else's copyright or trademark. This heuristic has had enough nines for me to qualify as 100% accurate. Source: having been in ex-USSR through all of 1990s and 2000s.
- Lucasoato 5mo agoTrademark laws? Copyright? Private property? Comrade, you must have hit your head hard, now quick, get the shovel, we need to load the coal in another truck for the glory of the Soviet Union!
- itsrobreally 5mo agoI dropped Notepad++ after their last malware issue^. I miss it, but I'm not going back. I can't believe anyone would trust this. ^ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-update/ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-up...
- jimmydoe 5mo agoit's nothing new. young people are ambitious and internet has been "claimed" by "last gen". I have a project with only ~600 stars. someone approached me want to contribute an adjacent project to be part of "official suite" and do rev share on my donation, and she already purchased a domain with a different TLD. Fortunately, she agreed with my recommendation of using her brand and maintain her own donation jar, she still owns that domain but not using it so far.
- deleted 5mo ago[deleted]
- mobeigi 5mo agoI wish people wouldn't abuse the author of that project over this. Giving them the benefit of the doubt in that this was a mistake and not intentionally malicious, it feels really bad for hundreds if not thousands of people to send hate, insults, abuse to a single individual. Shame on the people who are doing that.
- adamtulinius 5mo agoThe only way you can consider this a mistake is by not having read the github comments here: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/17982 https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issue...
- kjs3 5mo agoI think you need to do a little more research before you give the poor, poor little author of 'that project' a pass.
- jdlyga 5mo agoCould've just called it MacPad++ or something
- kstrauser 5mo agoTrademark is the one form of IP I genuinely appreciate (minus anything involving the International Olympic Committee). If I buy something labeled as a Coke, I want some strong assurances that it was made by the Coca-Cola company, not a fan who wanted to bring Coke to new venues. If I were to buy a Dell laptop, first, shoot me because I’ve lost my mind. But if I did, then I want to know it’s made by Dell Corp and not someone collecting parts off Alibaba. Trademarks benefit their owners, but they also benefit the customers. Which is all to say this story is wild. Sorry, author, this is not Notepad++, and saying otherwise is lying to the end users. Don Ho has a reputation to protect as the real author. This fork has nothing to protect; it could embed a code exporter to shop all your stuff to North Korea without costing its author any rep, because they weren’t starting with any to begin with. I don’t know Ho, I don’t use Windows, and I’ve never used Notepad++, but this lie is dangerous to Ho, and the people using his stuff because they trust his name. It’s rare you see an IP argument where one side is clearly legally and ethically correct. This is our one for the year, I suspect.
- jmull 5mo agoI think there's a significant chance this fake Notepad++ for Mac is/becomes a vector for malware. The author is impossibly naive. The best interpretation is they are easy dupes for a supply-chain attack. Hopefully the word gets around that no one should install this (whether or not the author of the fake version eventually finishes "evolving the branding" of the port).
- adamtulinius 5mo agoToo bad MacRumors didn't bother doing more than adding a note to where they recommended this fake copy: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/29/notepad-plus-plus-editor-comes-to-mac/ https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/29/notepad-plus-plus-edito... They didn't even bother removing the links!
- minimaxir 5mo agoMacRumors has now just posted another post about the controversy: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/05/04/notepad-plus-plus-trademark-violation/ https://www.macrumors.com/2026/05/04/notepad-plus-plus-trade...
- koiueo 5mo agoMacRumors repeated Letov's "in coordination with" bs. There's no coordination.
- throwaway27448 5mo agoIsn't notepad++ also a vector for malware? It would seem to be more of a violation of the trademark to not distribute malware
- jmull 5mo agoYou're arguing the malware risk from notepad++ created and run by Don Ho for over 22 years is comparable to that of new, fake notepad++, vibe coded and run by a guy whose main claim to fame is a marked ignorance of norms around software development? You'll have to let us know how you reached that conclusion.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5mo agoI inadvertently used someone else's trademark, once. They weren't really doing a good job of managing it, so it didn't show up in any of my searches (which did not include the USPTO, which didn't have a decent Web presence, back then). They contacted me, after it had been up (a Website), and said I needed to stop using it immediately. They were right. I was wrong. It came down in an hour, and I set up a new site, using a different name, in a day or so. I offered to give them the domain name. They didn't want it, but that was fine. I stopped using (and paying for) it immediately.
- EdwardDiego 5mo agoI created a plugin for a niche markup language recently. I asked them if I could use their logo for it on GH, they said yes, I did and added a note to the licence file explaining that their unregistered trademark was used with permission. It's not hard to do the right thing, either upfront or once you realize you'd done the wrong thing.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5mo agoOn another note, I was once contacted through Apple's infringement service, that the app I wrote, was infringing on someone else's. The app started with the first four letters of their app name ("Ambi"). they were probably going after any app that started with those four letters, so they would rank higher in searches. Since they used Apple's service, they could probably have had my app taken down, even though there was no way that their claim had any merit. In that case, I was planning on changing the app's name, anyway (it wasn't a very good name), but I could see this kind of thing being a huge PItA.
- hannahstrawbrry 5mo agoHell Apple has given me problems for infringing on my own trademark- accidentally registered an app under the wrong developer account and tried to just delete and recreate under the correct one, took multiple rounds of review and having to file my own trademark complaint for them to allow me to use the name again. Great way to get stuck in App Store Hell
- emsign 5mo agoDeepfaked software?
- _el1s7 5mo agoTrademark infringement seems to be rising these days, thanks to AI slop. Surprisingly, the domain registrars and hosting providers don't really seem to care much about these issues. To takedown something that is infringing your brand, you would have to spend time and money dealing with bureaucratic procedures.
- CodeWriter23 5mo agoI think this all turns on, did the original author assert "Addtional Terms" under GPL v3 7e: e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or If he did not, it would appear to this non-lawyer that he released the icon and branding under the GPL.
- kube-system 5mo agoThe author does not have to assert those additional terms to have trademark protection, because the law provides for that by default, and the GPL v3 does not have a trademark grant clause. GPL v3 e7 means that, if for whatever reason, you do explicitly disclaim trademark grants, it does not violate or invalidate the copyright license.
- gradientsrneat 5mo agoFWIW it's feasible to make a "clone" of Notepad++ using the Scintilla library that Notepad++ is based on, but don't violate trademarks of course. That said, it's the details that make Notepad++ good.
- jonenst 5mo agoI wonder how the legal battle will develop : the trademark https://data.inpi.fr/marques/FR5133202 https://data.inpi.fr/marques/FR5133202 is France only I think ? So a Paris resident infringed upon by a NYC resident, with content on github and also a website registered with godaddy (according to whois) and using cloudflare dns servers. Good luck sorting everything out. Although maybe the relative fame of the project will act as a lubricant/privilege in this case ? (IANAL but if this case is as obvious as it looks, speed would be good. And ideally it would be fast for any such case, not just the famous ones)
- bdcravens 5mo agoThe Mac port is open source, and has rebranded: https://github.com/nextpad-plus-plus/nextpad-plus-plus-macos https://github.com/nextpad-plus-plus/nextpad-plus-plus-macos The name was a trademark violation, but the project appears to be compliant with the open source license used by Notepad++.
- minimaxir 5mo agoThe app has now posted a message indicating a rebranding: > Starting with upcoming version 1.0.6, Notepad++ for Mac will be renamed to Nextpad++. The new name is a small nod to Mac history. Before returning to Apple in 1996, Steve Jobs founded NeXT, which became the foundation of what is now macOS. Given the context of a) trademark infringement and b) framing it as a comeback story, this compliance seems to be malicious.
- gblargg 5mo agoAnd not as clear as it could be: > Is this the "real" Notepad++ for Mac? > > This is the actual Notepad++ codebase ported to run natively on macOS. It is not a knockoff, a Wine wrapper, or a new editor that imitates Notepad++. Why not just say "No, this is not Notepad++ for Mac. It's my own port of the code from Notepad++." It still sounds like he's trying to pass it off as the actual Notepad++.
- user3939382 5mo agoidk it clearly says ported and addresses that it’s not the original about 3x in the FAQ
- gblargg 5mo agoApparently he agreed with me because he's eliminated that question and wording, with no trace I can find of what I quoted. The other language is irrelevant to what I quoted.
- AppAttestationz 5mo agoNotepad+++ was born.
- lnxg33k1 5mo agoBold from someone who named its program notepad++
- aethertron 5mo ago> "It actually expands notepad++ brand to mac" > "My intention was to expand your brand." Funny he thinks 'expanding' someone else's 'brand' is doing them a favour. 'I inflated your currency! There's more now, you should appreciate!'
