In cases like this, it's perfectly OK to correct typos and misuses of
trademarks (especially TLG trademarks). That is to say, this question could
just as well be re-written as:
Subject: What is Samsonite?
or
Subject: What does Samsonite have to do with LEGO?
or
Subject: Did Samsonite really ever sell LEGO products?
Questions shown in FAQs don't necessarily have to be the exact question that
was originally posed. In fact, the original verbatim question often
includes hidden contextual information or assumptions.
Editing is good. Editing is good. Editing is good. Editing is good. :)
> <P>It appears Samsonite (of briefcase fame) has imported/made Lego

TLG requests in their trademark information packet that all of their marks
(*especially* LEGO) always be written in all-caps. It is OK, however, to
write "Lego" when referring to the company per se, for example, "The Lego
Group" or "Lego Systems, Inc." But when the mark is used as an adjective
(i.e., "LEGO products") then it has to be uppercase. If in doubt, simply
always use uppercase (that's the best example to set anyway).

Say, by chance was this snippet a direct unedited quote from a news article?
