I'm not sure of the truth behind all of this, but it seems far overblown
A key bit is:
The appeal judge in Hong Kong was unimpressed with a later patent, taken
out by Lego in 1958, for a further adapted design, saying: "The present
day brick is essentially the same product as it was in 1949."
Well, actually, the judge might have not been impressed, but I think
everyone here would be -- the 1958 innovation was the stud-and-tube system
which makes Lego bricks what they are.
I don't think Lego ever claimed to be the first with the idea of making
building blocks out of plastic.
