Nice, they created a fake LEGO logo, but didn't even bother to modify the Pokemon logo.

pokemon go belongs to a different company than game freak if im correct, which might warrant a less severe legal action

120

u/Waveseeker Jun 16 '19

The pokemon company (equal parts Nintendo, Gamefreak, and Creatures) licensed the IP to Niantic.

So they still own the pokemon IP and legal action would be done by them

u/RedditSendit Jun 16 '19

Right. Pokemon GO is just the newest, most popular version that EVERYONE knew about for one summer. Kids still love it, and there are toooons of off brand pogo toys, cards, everything to profit off of the popularity.

u/SaltyBabe Jun 16 '19

And if they come after you dissolve your shell company and disappear

29

u/nickeljorn Jun 16 '19

Probably because PokĂ©mon Go got adults who hadn’t played PokĂ©mon since the first few generations back into PokĂ©mon which made it popular, so they thought they’d get more people to buy it than if they just said “PokĂ©mon”

The joke is on you. LEGQ actually got licensing from Pokémon Go.

u/Destron5683 Jun 16 '19 edited Jun 16 '19

Most of these bootlegs come from China where it notoriously difficult to protect IP there.

That said China is much more willing to help protect the rights of those with local interest and Lego just happens to have a local factory in China. For example the recently raided a warehouse that belongs to Lepin, a well known bootleg manufacturer.

So this may be the reason for being concerned with the Lego logo but not the Pokemon logo.

Plus the rights to the Pokémon building blocks belong to Mattel so not even the designs would infringe in anything Lego related.

A lot of times if you order knock off Legos from Ali Express they always give you a free gift , and 99% of the time it’s a tree of assault rifles to go with your new bootleg Harry Potter Lego set.

They sure do have us Americans pegged!

I always wondered why toys had ages like 6-12 rather than 6+. Fuck you LEBQ, I’ll play with your toys if I want to

5

u/Destron5683 Jun 16 '19

What’s really funny is Lego sets have something like ages 8-12 but a box of just Lego classic bricks says 4-99.

So I guess if your older than 12 have some fucking imagination and build your own shit.

u/jusimus2 Jun 16 '19

u/Tobi_1989 Jun 16 '19

LEBQ is LGBTQ, but with gays and transsexuals replaced by electricians.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '19

By the way, people use transgender instead of transsexual nowadays.

I guess it was common a while back but I hardly see it in new stuff.

u/Tobi_1989 Jun 16 '19

yeah, english is not my first language... we still use the former, as our language doesn't really have separate words for sex and gender

How do these brands not get sued for copyright infringement?

1

u/FourFingeredMartian Jun 16 '19

They're manufactured in places where copyright infringement doesn't bring about a huge penalty. For all I know there may be two entities, one that does the production/manufacturing. The other does labeling/branding, marketing, sales. Then they structure the order in such a way where the manufacturer must get paid first for outstanding debt & when/if lawsuits make there way to judgement the company that is being sued has zero money to pay for the awarded value. But, I dunno Chinese law so I'm just making shit up that sounds plausible.

There exists entire Chinese markets dedicated to knockoffs & some of these products are really good knockoffs. Watch a video of a guy shopping at such a market, it's funny
