Sharing a picture of the legal notice from Lenovo alongside the relevant section of the PC case on Twitter, Framework has announced that it will change the design of the power button. But instead of deputing the task to its own team of designers, Framework is asking fans to come up with their own design ideas for the power button.
In a subsequent tweet, Framework added that the all entries for the community contest will be “judged subjectively by our CEO” and that the last date for submissions is August 25. The winner will be revealed a day later and will be rewarded with one of Framework’s customizable motherboards powered by an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor.
The @Lenovo legal team says we have to change the power button on our 3D printed case, so we’re opening up a Community contest! Whoever can come up with the best new power button design gets a free i5-1135G7 Mainboard. pic.twitter.com/aBM3xRIzTF

Framework’s approach is a breathe of fresh air in an ecosystem where trademark battles quickly get ugly, insults are hurled, and bullying is rife. Instead, Framework is graciously conceding the fault with the design similarity and is turning the whole saga into a community-building opportunity. Not all trademark squabbles take this route.
Take for example Meta, previously known to the world as Facebook. An Arizona-based PC-building startup named Meta PC filed the trademark for “Meta” a couple of months before Facebook changed its name, and offered to settle for $20 million to let go of the name. Another company named MetaX is dragging the tech giant to court for similar reasons.
