Question About Using Asset Pack For Games

Hi there,

If sold a game with this asset pack, could LEGO strike it down because they have the right to the LEGO bricks? I would not display the LEGO logo, but would just having the same bricks be a legal issue? Thank you.

Great question!

First off, I'm not a lawyer, so my advice comes to you purely from my own understanding. I do not provide this advice with any warranty and cannot take responsibility for any legal issues you may or may not encounter. That said:

As long as you don't claim them to be LEGO bricks, you should be fine. They could just as easily be depictions of LEPIN bricks, MEGABLOCKS bricks or Wilko's offbrand LEGO-compatible brick. (Though we all know that LEGO is the superior plastic construction block).

Ok thanks, I was thinking of making a game that is in the LEGO style that is reminiscent of one of my childhood games, so I was wondering. Thanks for the help. Your asset is great, and even if I don't end up using it for the game, I might buy the sprites just to see the style - that is when I actually have money lmao.

Great! :~)

Generally speaking, follow the rules for copyright, don't infringe on other's property or reuse logos, character names or assets and you should be fine. One of the big no-nos for LEGO is recreating the minifig. That's very core to the identity of LEGO.
