Toy Building Brick Lego Patent Print
The Retro Patents Lego® Patent Print is a homage to a timeless invention by Godtfred Kirk Christiansen, dated July 28, 1958. Legos, honored as the “Toy of the Century” on two occasions, represent a legacy of innovation since the company's acquisition of its first plastic injection machine in 1947. The iconic stud and tube design, patented in 1958, exemplifies unique interlocking principles that allow for endless creativity and construction.

The History
"Toy Building Brick"
Lego® Patent Print - Godtfred Kirk Christiansen, July 28, 1958
Legos have been named the “Toy of the Century” twice. The Lego was born in 1947 when the company bought their first plastic injection machine. The brick was not invented then but took final form in 1958 when the shape of the stud and tube brick was patented. The interlocking principles make it unique and offer unlimited building possibilities. In February of 2015, Lego replaced Ferrari as Brand Finance’s “world’s most powerful brand”.
