Lego A/S, Europe’s biggest toymaker, said it won its first copyright court case in China.
The China Shantou Intermediate People’s Court has ruled that products under the name Bela, sold by two Chinese companies, infringed upon Lego’s copyrights, the building block maker said in a statement Thursday. The ruling was made in September, but the appeal window only ended last month, Lego said.
