First, "m-tron" is not a registered trademark (neither is "m tron", "mtron",
or "m:tron"). But even if it were, trademarks need to be periodically
renewed, and cannot be renewed if they're not actively being used in
commerce.
Furthermore, if Lego had such a trademark, it would certainly be within
class 28, Toys and Sporting goods. Any other commercial use would be
perfectly legitimate. And so would non-related non-commercial use, for that
matter.
