Lego is on the verge of its worst nightmare. Its famous brick design is being pirated by a Canadian company and a European judge says that’s just fine with him.
According to the European Department of Justice, Lego does not have exclusive rights to the Lego building block anymore after the Danish toy company sued a Canadian firm for making blocks so similar to theirs, they fit perfectly with the real McCoy.
In its decision, the EDoJ stated that in spite of the fact that Lego design was created by founded Ole Kirk Christiansen in 1932, and has remained in production since then, that the design of Lego is not protected by the Lego trademark! :o
