Tom Kintop was the first of a few of you to send in the news that LEGO, makers of the plastic bricks — and rather well known for its overly aggressive<\/a> intellectual property enforcement attempts, which often get shot down<\/a> — has sued a small non-profit organization in Minneapolis<\/a> called Project Legos, where the Legos stands for Leadership, Empowerment, Growth, Opportunity, Sustainability. While both are targeted at children, it’s hard to see that the two compete in any way in the same “market.” It’s difficult to see how there’s any confusion here, or how it does LEGO any good suing a small charitable organization. They should send over some LEGO bricks and apologize.<\/p>\n
