Iconic 3D LEGO Minifigure Recognised as Well-Known in Ukraine

On 8 October 2024, the Ukrainian IPO’s Appeal Board granted well-known status to the 3D LEGO minifigure trade mark, recognising LEGO Juris A/S’s strong presence in Ukraine.

Founded in Kyiv in 2012, UkrBricks joined the LEGO Ambassador Network, while Ukraine’s Ministry of Education partnered with LEGO in 2010 and 2021 to bring LEGO Education kits into classrooms.

LEGO’s 2021 release of a special “Home Alone” set, created by Ukrainian designer Oleksiy Storozhuk, became the largest in LEGO’s history (3,955 pieces).

Currently, 181 trade marks enjoy a well-known status in Ukraine. Several factors contribute to this status, including the extent and duration of use, public awareness, market value, and enforcement history.

More details are available in the Special Information System (SIS), a search engine developed by the Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovation (UANIPIO) that provides access to information on all types of industrial property rights.
