>>8164012Didn't LEGO won a case like this already in Europe? It was consdiered a 3D Trademark.
They won't win. All the other pieces are in public domain though, I believe that even the Animals.
I don't understand why they are completely ignoring the Intelecutal properties though, I have the belief that the animals are sculptures, so they should have been protected by copyrights. But you can find the animals everywhere.
>>8168990I think they are suing basing on trademark infrigment, not in copyright/patent. So they will probably argue that it's causing brand confusion.
Since they have the 3D shape trademark... I don't know, it could go anywhere.

So any minifigures clones would be an trademark infringement. So if you create product it would be like you are distributing LEGO's logos and stuff.
