controversy.

Perhaps someone with better monitor-resolution can answer, but on my screen I
don’t see the “LEGO” logo on any of the studs. Since it has already been
established in numerous court cases that TLG does not (any longer) hold any
“trademark” on the 2x4 brick design, I would say that TLG has nothing to say in
this matter.
Has anyone sought comment from Mega Bloks Inc., Qubo, Tandem, Cobi, Hasbro, or
any of the other companies that produce or have recently produced similar
bricks?
Heck, we don’t even know what scale the photo represents. Maybe that 2x4 brick
is ten feet long!
