Stated as facts in this book are:
1947 - LEGO Billund A/S buys it's first injection mold machine. Among the
samples are a brick toy from Kiddicraft, UK (Not patent protected in
Denmark).
1981 - LEGO buys the rights to the Kiddicraft brick.
(...) Geoff Lilleker also has some speculation about Lego purchasing the rights from Kiddicraft. Seems a little less biased but I'm not sure what is true. Select Kiddicraft or Lego from this page: (URL) (19 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.general)
