All sarcasm aside, I would like to know whether LEGO patented this or not, as Rob Hendrix certainly did seem to have been doing this first. I did a bit of digging, this was the best query I could come up with: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=0&f=S&l=50&TERM1=interLEGO&FIELD1=ASNM&co1=AND&TERM2=figure&FIELD2=&d=ptxt (all patents where InterLEGO is the assignee and that contain "figure" somewhere... gives 81 hits. When I add LED it drops to 0. That just proves I don't know how to search the patent office DB very well) Maybe someone else can find a better query.
