When I saw this headline my mind automatically interpreted Nextpad++ as Notepad++, I had to stop and fully parse through the headline before realizing there was actually an 'e' in there instead of an 'o'. They really chose the least indistinguishable new name that they possibly could have. In reality there's only a couple pixels of difference between the two names.
I agree but it's at least it's not infringing with Notepad++ name. This is an unofficial port of Notepad++ to Mac without permission from the original project.
IMHO the '++' still looks so... dishonest? Maybe that's not the right word. I mean, it would be fitting if it were a modern version of something called "Nextpad" (which it isn't).
They definitely risk losing a formal lawsuit over similarity of purpose & field with explicit intent to confuse those seeking the original marked product, assuming the mark holder pursues that claim. I sure hope they do.
