'Only Adobe can call a plug-in a "Photoshop Plug-in"'
And quite right too. Once Adobe has called it that, so too can other people. If you haven't got Adobe's approval, the proper way to describe it is as a 'plug-in for Photoshop'.
once again, there is no approval necessary to write and sell a photoshop plug-in and call it that, which is what a lot of companies do.
Ever heard of protecting a trademark?
calling something a photoshop plug-in is not infringing. it is, after all, a photoshop plug-in. it does not in any way mean it was authored by adobe.
You should see http://www.thepluginsite.com/knowhow/tutorials/introduction/introduction.htm which will give you some idea of why, when and how Adobe may restrict the use of Photoshop as part of the name of plugins. --
