FACTS
8. The LEGO Group is a well-established industry innovator and leader in designing
and manufacturing toys and play materials for children of all ages worldwide. The LEGO
Group’s toy building elements, figurines and toy sets established the construction toy category,
are well-recognized around the world and have enjoyed tremendous commercial success and
consistent popular acclaim. Constructive LEGO® play fosters positive, lifelong skills, such as
creativity, imagination and creative problem solving, which are valuable to any child.
9. The LEGO Group is known for delivering the very best construction toy products
and associated play experiences. In fact, the name “LEGO” is an abbreviation of the Danish
words “leg godt” meaning “play well.” The LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk
Kristiansen, who started the company making wooden toys and selling them from his workshop
in Billund, Denmark. The company has passed from parent to child with Thomas Kirk
105391169
-2-
.
Kristiansen, great grandchild of the founder, representing the fourth generation of ownership and
currently serving as Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors. Ole Kristiansen’s motto– “det
bedste er ikke for godt” meaning “only the best is good enough”– helps explain why, according
to a 2020 study by the Reputation Institute, the LEGO Group is the most reputable brand in the
world. The phrase also explains why the LEGO Group’s products have been named “Toy of the
Century” by both Fortune magazine and the British Association of Toy Retailers. Over the years,
the LEGO Group has amassed significant goodwill and a strong reputation for quality.
10. The LEGO Group’s innovative and commercially successful products are the
result of its long-time investment in research and development and commitment to cutting-edge
toy designs. The LEGO Group’s innovations and products have become so popular and well-
recognized that they attract competitors who attempt to capitalize on the LEGO Group’s success
by copying its innovations and products and preying on the vulnerability of youthful consuming
population, instead of developing their own product lines. Over the years, the LEGO Group has
made substantial investments in design, research and development, licensing, and manufacturing
in a wide variety of product lines, including those containing the Minifigure figurine construction
toy products.

11. As described in further detail below, Laser Pegs has infringed the LEGO Group’s
intellectual property rights with all products featuring figurines that are confusingly, strikingly
and substantially similar to the overall look and feel of the LEGO® Minifigure figurine.
THE LEGO GROUP’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN THE MINIFIGURE

FIGURINE
12. In 1978, the LEGO® brand introduced its Minifigure figurine. For more than 40
years, the Minifigure figurine has been sold worldwide in numerous varieties of LEGO® brand
toy sets, as well as individually, becoming one of the most iconic toys for the LEGO Group.
Over 120 million Minifigure figurines have been sold in the U.S. since 1978.

13. LAS owns numerous copyrights registered with the United States Copyright
Office, including Registration Number VA0000655104 and Registration Number
VA0000655230 (the “Minifigure Copyrights”), protecting the 3D sculpture and derivative works
of the Minifigure figurine. LSI owns, among other rights, exclusive rights in the U.S. to
distribute the copyrighted 3D sculpture and derivative works of the Minifigure figurine. The
registrations and copies of the deposit material are attached as Exhibits A and B.

14. Since 1978, the LEGO Group has continuously displayed the © symbol in
connection to the Minifigure figurine on various product packaging.
15. Since at least as early as 1993, the LEGO Group has continuously displayed the ©
symbol in the plastic of the Minifigure figurine in various locations.
16. Since at least as early as 1998, the LEGO Group has continuously displayed “©
LEGO” in the plastic of the Minifigure figurine in various locations. For example, in the images
below, “© LEGO” is in the plastic of each element comprising the Minifigure figurine:

© LEGO located inside head element of Minifigure figurine
© LEGO located on the top © LEGO located on the © LEGO located on the torso

17. LJAS owns numerous trademarks registered with the United States Patent &
Trademark Office including Registration Number 4,903,968 for the Minifigure figurine (“the
105391169
-7-
.
Registered Minifigure Trademark”). A copy of the Registration Certificate for the Registered
Minifigure Trademark is attached as Exhibit C.
U.S. Trademark Registration Number 4,903,968
18. The LEGO Group also has common law trademark rights in the Minifigure
figurine set forth in Exhibit C, by virtue of its continuous use of the mark in commerce
throughout the U.S. since 1978 (together with the Registered Minifigure Trademark, the
“Minifigure Trademarks”). As the U.S. arm of the LEGO Group, LSI is the U.S. licensee with
the rights to use and sublicense the Minifigure Trademarks and other trademarks.
19. The LEGO Group has established valuable (indeed, invaluable) trademark rights
and goodwill in the Minifigure Trademarks by virtue of its long use and registration of the
trademark, the substantial promotional and marketing efforts under the trademark, the
expenditure of vast sums in advertising and promotional activities under that trademark, and
third-party licensing agreements.
105391169
-8-
.
20. The products and services offered, sold, and advertised in connection with the
Minifigure Trademarks have generated substantial revenue. Such revenue has exceeded over
one billion dollars (USD) internationally.
21. As a result of the long and extensive use of the Minifigure Trademarks, and the
significant sales, promotion, advertising, third-party licensing, and commercial success under
those marks, the Minifigure figurine has achieved such widespread public exposure and
recognition that it is distinctive and is well-known and famous among the general consuming
public of the U.S. and abroad.
LASER PEGS’ INFRINGING FIGURINES
22. Laser Pegs has sold figurines (the “Infringing Figurines”), shown below, that are
confusingly, strikingly and substantially similar to the overall look and feel of the LEGO®
Minifigure figurine.
Representative Infringing Figurines

105391169
-9-
.
23. The Infringing Figurines were advertised and offered for sale on Laser Pegs’
website, https://laserpegs.com/. See Exhibit D for printout of the website. The website was
interactive, as customers, including customers located in Connecticut, can place orders for
existing products available at https://laserpegs.com/shop/. Customers could also contact Laser
Pegs for support, leave reviews, join a mailing list, and manage their personal accounts via Laser
Pegs’ website.

24. The Infringing Figurines are also sold at Michaels, Walmart, Barnes & Noble in
their retail locations throughout the U.S., including Connecticut locations, and online for local
store pickup including at Connecticut locations.
25. The Infringing Figurines are unauthorized reproductions of the LEGO Group’s
copyrights and trademarks including the Minifigure Copyrights and Minifigure Trademarks.

.
26. Laser Pegs has had actual notice of the LEGO Group’s copyrights and trademarks
including the Minifigure Copyrights and Minifigure Trademarks in and to the Minifigure
figurine since at least as early as July 29, 2019. Counsel for the LEGO Group sent a letter and e-
mails regarding Laser Pegs’ infringement.
27. The construction toy market is highly competitive. Selling products that infringe
the LEGO Group’s copyrights and trademarks will allow Laser Pegs to increase its market share
and sales, and enable Laser Pegs to establish relationships with customers, and licensors
potentially, for whom the LEGO Group competes. That potential injury to the LEGO Group is
unquantifiable.
28. The LEGO Group has no agreement of any kind with Laser Pegs that would
authorize the manufacture or sale of the Infringing Figurines. The Infringing Figurines are sold
through many of the same trade channels as the LEGO® Minifigure figurine.
THE LEGO GROUP’S “STUD” TRADEMARKS
29. In 1958, the LEGO® brand of construction toys bearing distinctive cylindrical
studs for interconnectivity was launched. The familiar repeating cylindrical stud design has been
used by the LEGO Group in connection with a wide assortment of goods and services since that
time.
30. LJAS owns numerous trademarks registered with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, including Registration Numbers 2,273,314 and 2,273,321 for cylindrical
surface features, covering, “toy figures and construction toys,” amongst other goods, in Class 28
(“the Registered Cylinder Trademarks”). Copies of the Registration Certificates for the
Registered Cylinder Trademarks are attached as Exhibits E and F.

31. LJAS also owns U.S. Trademark Registration Number 2,922,658 for an eight stud
brick in a two-by-four arrangement, covering, “construction toys” in Class 28 (“the Registered
Brick Trademark”) (together with the Registered Cylinder Trademarks, the “Stud Trademarks”).
A copy of the Registration Certificate for the Registered Brick Trademark is attached as Exhibit
G. As the U.S. arm of the LEGO Group, LSI is the U.S. licensee with the rights to use and
sublicense the Stud Trademarks and other trademarks.
USPTO Registration No. 2,922,658

32. The LEGO Group has common law trademark rights in the Registered Cylinder
Trademarks set forth in Exhibits E and F, by virtue of its continuous use of the marks in
commerce throughout the U.S. since 1961.
33. The LEGO Group has common law trademark rights in the Registered Brick
Trademark set forth in Exhibit G, by virtue of its continuous use of the marks in commerce
throughout the U.S. since 1987.
34. The LEGO Group has established valuable trademark rights and goodwill in the
Stud Trademarks by virtue of its long use and registration of the trademarks, the substantial
promotional and marketing efforts under the trademarks, the expenditure of vast sums in
advertising and promotional activities under those trademarks, and third-party licensing
agreements.
35. The products and services offered, sold, and advertised in connection with the
Stud Trademarks have generated substantial revenue. Such revenue has exceeded over one
billion dollars (USD) internationally.
36. As a result of the long and extensive use of the Stud Trademarks, and the
significant sales, promotion, advertising, third-party licensing, and commercial success under
those marks, the Stud Trademarks have achieved such widespread public exposure and
recognition that it is distinctive and is well-known and famous among the general consuming
public of the U.S. and abroad.
LASER PEGS’ INFRINGEMENT OF THE LEGO GROUP’S STUD TRADEMARKS
37. Laser Pegs has used construction bricks as source identifiers (the “Infringing Stud
Trademarks”) that are confusingly similar to the LEGO Group’s Stud Trademarks.
38. Laser Pegs has used four stud construction bricks in its packaging, shown below:
105391169
-13-
.
Four stud bricks shown on Laser Pegs packaging
39. Laser Pegs has used the four stud bricks in connection with the sale of a line of
construction brick toys and figurines.
40. Laser Pegs’ use of cylindrical protrusions and four stud bricks as source
identifiers for toy figurines and construction toy products is confusingly similar to the Stud
Trademarks.
41. The LEGO Group has no agreement of any kind with Laser Pegs that would
authorize the use of the Stud Trademarks.
