I suspect that Lego is registered for games and playthings and probably

anything else they can actually justify by use but not for building

materials, unless they have a construction industry arm I haven't heard

of. If so, the building materials company could even have called their

product Lego without infringing the trade name.



Well yes but it doesn't always work that way. As witness Virgin Windows and

Virgin computers. Branson doesn't sell either but his company successfully

sued both businesses.

Do you reckon I could sue a certain televison channel for using part of
my name and my name +1 :-)



Only if you've TM'd it - and as you haven't maybe they would turn the
tables.
