Und der weitere Schritt seitens TLG gegen Kopie:
Der Name der "two Chinese companies" ist nicht explizit gegeben.

The LEGO Group has received a favorable decision from China Shantou Intermediate People’s Court in September holding that certain BELA products infringed upon the copyrights of the LEGO Group and that manufacturing and selling of those products constituted acts of unfair competition. It is the first time the LEGO Group has filed and won an anti-unfair competition case against imitators in China.



The case was filed against two Chinese companies, which had been manufacturing and selling products that were almost identical to LEGO®products. The decisions come into effect in November 2017.

The court decided that the two Chinese companies must stop copying the packaging and logos of LEGO products in the future, as this constitutes copyright infringement. The court also decided that the LEGO Group enjoys protection under Chinese anti-unfair competition laws for the distinctive and unique appearance of certain decorative aspects of its packaging across particular product lines (in this case, LEGO Friends), which serves the purpose of making consumers immediately recognize and associate the products with the LEGO Group.

Peter Thorslund Kjær, Vice President, Legal Affairs in the LEGO Group, said: “We are pleased with the ruling by Shantou Intermediate People’s Court, which we see as a strong indication of the continued focus on proper intellectual property protection and enforcement by the Chinese courts and responsible authorities. We think this is very important for the continued development of a favorable business environment for all companies operating in the Chinese market.”

“We will continue our efforts to ensure that parents and children are able to make informed choices when they are buying toy products, and that they are not misled by attempts by irresponsible companies to make toy products appear as something that they are not.”

The LEGO Group takes the protection of its intellectual property very seriously and takes the necessary steps to ensure that its copyrights, trademarks, patents or intellectual properties are not being violated.

Würde das Thema gerne einmal wieder hervorkramen. Gab es seit Ende 2017 bis jetzt wieder Neuigkeiten diesbezüglich?
Leider wird der Markt immer noch mit diesem Dreck überflutet, da wäre es interessant, ob es sich hier nur um sehr viele Restposten handelt oder die Chinesen trotz des Urteils einfach trotzdem munter weiterkopieren. Wundern würde es mich ja nicht.

PS: Wobei, klar produzieren sie munter und dreist einfach weiter. Erst kürzlich sind doch die ersten Bilder der SW Cloud City von Lepin aufgetaucht.  :fart:

Es gibt seitens Lego nicht wirklich Neues zu erfahren... Aber die IP-Regeln sind strenger geworden: für die Verwendung von Minifigs oder Logo.

Als Ergänzung ein Link zu interessante Beiträge über Lepin: Frage "Is Lepin a new cheap brand of LEGO?":

Man sieht ja leider, dass es gegen diesen Dreck anscheinend überhaupt nicht geholfen hat:



Die Chinesen sehen es wohl wirklich erst dann ein, wenn ihnen von der Regierung die Fabriken in die Luft gejagt werden...  ::)
