I think it opens up a whole can of worms when you start selling the parts, vs. just (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jun-02, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

| | | | This has all really been asked and answered, or are you just trolling or something? The 2x4 brick design is in the public domain. Even if it were not, the aluminum brick design in question is actually an original creation (note the configuration of (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jun-02, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

| | | | Darrell, I offered my views on this issue, with references. [1] I did not specifically defend the practice and I don't have a final answer either. My conclusion is that Lego construe their proprietary rights to be much broader than patent law (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
