Companies can clone LEGO brick shapes (except the LEGO logo), but now not the minifigure shapes. 1978-02-14 US US05/877,800 patent/USD253711S/en not_active Expired - Lifetime; Cited By (29) But, if you were to do it on a large scale, or otherwise try to sell it as a genuine (non-custom)/  LEGO endorsed product, then, you might have trouble.The trademark over the mini figure has been in place for years.so basically I think that now whoever wants to sell customised minifigures should pay they royalties to LEGO.I can't see them going after the Chinese based companies selling knock-off minifigs that flood ebay.OK, I know this is "Euro"-Bricks, and an old thread. Today we celebrate the submission of the patent for the original minifigure design, in Denmark in 1977. The fact that a custom figure may feature a design of a copyrighted character is a different matter... That's up o the license holder. So I think that this will allow LEGO to go after minifigure vendors who mold their own rather than customize LEGO-produced ones.No registered users viewing this page.So I believe that nobody is eligible to make money over non-LEGO minifigures without LEGO's permission.I think custom mini-figs should be treated the same a fan-fiction, they are a fans interpretation of a brand. Looks nice though. $17.99.

that's not illegal... i guess they are just printing on blank torsos... also i think if you say something on your product like "we are not affiliated with lego an any way and this isn't an official tlc product" then you will be fine, eve on a massive scale.Sign up for a new account in our community. 7 is a front perspective view in the same position of the toy figure,FIG. Re-selling minifigures themselves is generally allowed under fair-use provisions of applicable laws. However i'm not sure how this would play out with Selling?If that's not the case, why not?In the US we have The Right of First Sale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrineIf you mean a custom figure that hasn't been done by Lego then that's up to the License holders to enforce... and if they don't then I don't see how or why someone else should or would be affected by it.I don't see this having any effect on customisers and not should it. What this covers is using the minifigure in producing original works not authorized by LEGO such as: t-shirts with depictions of minifigures Lego Patent Art Prints - Set of 4 Photos - Toy Game Room Wall Decor
It's not up to anyone else to raise an issue with you letting them.I think they COULD go after them but the issue of the Chinese government allowing prosecution of those companies is questionable as cloning of products is rife... From cars to electronics.People have been printing custom minifigures for years... years and years. 3 is a rear elevation view of the toy figure, 1 is a front elevation view of the toy figure, showing our new design.FIG.
