Chinese police dismantled a gang accused of counterfeiting Lego products. The toys for $30 million were seized at Chinese toymaker Lepin. A raid also resulted in four arrests.
Lego had been fighting with Lepin in the Chinese court for two and a half years. Lepin is accused of copying Lego blueprints and sending to a factory in Shenzhen for manufacturing, to then sell all over China.
The police discovered 10 production lines, 90 forms for creating blocks and 630,000 of ready sets. Lepin bricks cost up to five times cheaper than those of Lego.
