Lego Clone[edit]

The following is too distinct to be called a clone. I will remove it from the list of clones, if no one have any objection.

LaQ sets - based in Japan. Produced by Yoshiritsu co. Ltd., similar in principle, but use flat plastic clip together tiles, not standard bricks as a basic building unit.

K'nex[edit]

K'nex, while it may have a handful of pieces which are compatible with the Lego system, I would NOT call K'nex a Lego clone at all. The K'nex system is night and day different to Lego. It's like saying Lego is a clone of the Arduino because Lego came out with Mindstorms system. Jarod (talk) 15:20, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Patent[edit]

I heard that the patents couldn't be renewed, since the court found that Lego was basically a Kiddicraft clone to begin with. The whole basic system was taken up wholesale. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 22:50, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not the above is true, I think it should be mentioned somewhere in the page that Lego's brick design was based on the Kiddicraft brick. That information is surprisingly difficult to find on this page or the main page on Lego. It is true, though, that they purchased the Kiddicraft brand and its patents when attempting to challenge competitors using compatible designs. --192.107.156.197 (talk) 19:10, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
