CoCo (toys)

Coco bricks and figures are similar in design to Lego bricks.

CoCo is the name of a construction toy produced by the Chinese company Tianjin COCO Toy Co., Ltd.

In 2002, Lego Group Swiss subsidiary Interlego AG sued the CoCo company for copyright infringement. A claims court found many CoCo bricks to be infringing; CoCo was ordered to cease manufacture of the infringing bricks, publish a formal apology in the Beijing Daily, and pay a small fee in damages to Interlego. On appeal, the Beijing High People's Court upheld the trial court's ruling. [1]
