No way.  The tube is the first thing LEGO patented.

Patent != trademark.

(...) No way. The tube is the first thing LEGO patented. Actually, they probably couldn't do anything. That original patent has expired, and I don't remember the tubes being used in any way that could be construed as trade dress.
