Still unsatisfied despite more than 20 courtroom defeats around the world,
LEGO is trying yet again to abuse patent and trademark law to afford itself
an unfair market advantage. This time LEGO is actually attempting to get the
US to block imports of Mega Brands blocks, apparently because LEGO doesn’t
trust consumers to make their own decisions about their construction toy
purchases.
Wisely--and predictably--Mega Brands is seeking an injunction to prevent
this grotesque over-reaching of market influence.

Love the headline. Bonus points for me knowing who wrote it before seeing your
name ;)
For what it’s worth I’m on your side. I won’t buy MB but a) they have a legal
right to do what they do and b) they’ve made LEGO lift its came by existing.
