Brand History & Trademark Analysis

Lego was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen in Billund, Denmark. The name derives from the Danish phrase "leg godt" meaning "play well." The modern interlocking brick was introduced in 1958. Following the expiry of its design patents in 1978, Lego has relied increasingly on trademark law to protect against clone products, pursuing competitors such as Mega Bloks across multiple jurisdictions.
