Great! I've seen the "copies", they look awful. The colours bleak and looks
sick and
the individual fit of the pieces seems to be far out. If I tried to lift one
of the models
I am sure it would totally collapse.

One can but wonder if those moulds really were destroyed or if the company
owner
just gave them to his nephew to continue the production. Maybe they already
had
produced so many pieces they felt the need to sell the sets to some less
knowing
company. No wonder Biltema came along. Since Sweden is so far from Denmark
I presume they thought it safe to sell the sets here in Scandinavia. Silly
sods. :)
All give praise to the real Brick! ;)

"October 1 2003
LEGO Company wins Norwegian lawsuit
LEGO Company has just won a lawsuit against the sales company Biltema at the
Norwegian court Drammen Tingrett. The lawsuit involves Biltema’s sale and
marketing of Coko products – clear imitations of LEGO products. The court’s
decision prohibits Biltema Norway from sale and marketing of these products and
Biltema must pay both compensation as well as the lawsuit costs to LEGO Company.
The court states that both the Coko bricks and the individual Coko building sets
can be mistaken for LEGO bricks and building sets. Furthermore, the court states
that Biltema deliberately has used this possibility of product confusion for
marketing purposes.
Henrik G. Jakobsen from LEGO Company’s Legal Department says: ”We are very
pleased with the court’s decision. It is a very important result for us in our
efforts at opposing imitation products, which can confuse the consumers.”
LEGO Company has taken similar legal action against the Biltema divisions in
Denmark, Sweden and Finland.
In December last year LEGO Company won a lawsuit at The Beijing High People’s
Court against the Chinese producer of the Coko products. The court stated that
Coko had to hand over the moulds to the court for destruction. The company also
had to publish an official apology in a national newspaper and pay compensation
to LEGO Company. "
Mvh,

Självklart är våra grannländer välkomna!
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Hej alla glada!
Så var det äntligen dags för SweLUG #5!
Inbjudan: http://news.lugnet.com/loc/se/traff_031031_inbjudan
Det är med 90% säkerhet klart att vi får låna biosalongen gratis[1] under
allahelgonahelgen. Viss reservation för att lokalen ska få hyresgäster. Skulle
så ske får vi låna en mindre butikslokal i samma hus istället.
Biosalongen är så funtad att man kan gå mellan den och min lägenhet utan att
behöva sätta en fot utomhus. Största nackdelen med lokalen är att golvet är
sluttande/i form av en väldigt utdragen trappa. Men det ska nog funka ändå, för
exempelvis ULV är det en fördel.
Svara på denna tråd om du har frågor om träffen men även om du vill komma eller
vet redan nu att du kommer!
/Tobbe
1. Jag får betala för el och om vi vill ha lokalen uppvärmd under helgen, till
självkostnadspris alltså.

Hi Matthias,
Sorry for this inconvinience. I should have responded only to the Dutch
(lugnet.loc.nl) instead of all those country's.
Regards,
Ludo

Hi Matthias,
..and a babelfisch translation from Dutch to English would not help much.. :-)
Herewith Ludo's story translated:
/start/
Hi Paul,
Thanks for this proposition. We, some Vlamingen (=people from the Dutch
speeking part of Belgium *khm) intend also to start a Club, if possible.
Every bit of help from experienced guys from De Bouwsteen is welcome! Our first
meeting is at my place on 12.04.2003. Result of the meeting?... W'll see.
/end/
Klaas H. Meijaard
Hé Ludo! Veel succes! We zijn benieuwd naar jullie bevindingen!
/transl:/ Good luck! :-)
