Compatible bricks for Lego systems "not unfair competition"
From Giovanni Guglielmetti (Bonelli Erede Pappalardo - Studio Legale) we learn that the Supreme Court in Italy has rendered its final decision in the Lego case. According to the Court, it is not unfair competition to make and sell compatible bricks so far as they can be distinguished by consumers from Lego's (i.e. so long as there is no risk of confusion). This decision is in high contrast with an earlier Lego dispute in 1998, where the court followed the German Supreme Court ruling in Kleinbaustein BGH, II.
