Is there any sets where Lego has included references
to other trademarked names.
One example I can think is Jeep,
for the 711 Jeep CJ-5 set.
Are the ferries (Stena, Silja),
and Maersk, names copyright/trademarks?
Any others?
Keep on bricking,

Hey Dave.... I’m surprised you didn’t think of them..... Esso, Shell, Exxon,
VW (named beams), and then there are all the 1:87 cars/trucks.
|
In the Netherlands there were also named beams for Philips and P.T.T. (post,
telegraph and telephone) and KLM (royal dutch airlines).

Is Octan a real service station? I have never seen one here or in Europe
(Germany, Austria, Britain, France).
|
I think Octan is non existing. It’s a Lego name.
| |
And don’t forget the #390-#395 Hobby Sets with names such as Rolls-Royce,
Cadillac, Harley-Davidson, Renault, Norton, and Formula 1.
And in trains there is the “DB” logo (Deutsche Bahn = German National
Railways).
|
With additional stickers for other European railway companies.
This reminds me of an opposite approach, although the name of Lego is
not mentioned:
I found this ad in a book with cars from 1973.
