Figma and Motiff Settle Intellectual Property Lawsuits Globally. Motiff to Stop Selling Editor Tool Worldwide, Reimburse Figma's Legal Expenses.

Figma and Motiff have reached a global settlement to resolve intellectual property disputes in the US and Singapore. Motiff will cease selling its current editor tool worldwide, except in mainland China, and reimburse Figma for legal expenses. The settlement concludes breach of contract, copyright infringement, and trademark infringement claims filed by Figma against Motiff in September 2024.

Figma, Inc. (FIG) and Motiff have reached a global settlement to resolve intellectual property disputes in the U.S. and Singapore. The agreement, which took effect on July 23, 2025, settles claims filed by Figma in September 2024, alleging breach of contract, copyright infringement, and trademark infringement by Motiff.

Under the settlement terms, Motiff will cease selling its current Motiff Editor Tool and any future products derived from it, globally, except in mainland China. In China, Motiff is permitted to sell its current Editor Tool for one year while it reengineers and redesigns the product. Additionally, Motiff has agreed to reimburse Figma’s legal expenses [1][2][3][4].

Figma, a cloud-based design tool company, made a stellar market debut and has since faced a 25% decline in stock value since its initial public offering on July 31, 2024. The settlement is seen as a significant step in maintaining Figma’s competitive edge and ensuring fair competition in the design tool market.

Figma spokesperson stated, “We welcome fair competition and strongly believe that no one should be allowed to copy our or others’ IP to gain an advantage. We are pleased to have reached a global settlement that aligns with Figma’s values and allows us to keep building for our customers and community without distraction” [2][4].

Motiff spokesperson expressed similar sentiments, “Motiff is equally pleased to have reached a compromise global settlement with Figma that will allow us to focus our efforts on Motiff’s AI 2.0 product. Motiff is committed to bringing AI value to our users” [2][4].

The settlement is expected to facilitate a more stable market environment for Figma and Motiff, allowing both companies to focus on innovation and growth.
