LEGO claims that the company’s competitors do not need to copy the shape of
the LEGO brick to achieve the same “technical solution”, and that most
consumers identify their studded brick as the company’s brand.

I suggest that LEGO design a new brick to achieve the same “technical
solution.”
|

Otherwise, this sounds like another in a long string of fairly open-and-shut
cases along these lines.

I wonder if the clones would have enjoyed the success that they’ve had were
they to have created a brick system that didn’t replicate the dimensions of
LEGO bricks.

Well of course they wouldn’t, but so what? The question isn’t whether or not
clones could thrive in the absence of the original; it’s whether the original
still retains exclusive rights to the studs-n-tubes design, and many courts have
already determined that they do not.
