On September 3, 2025, the Shanghai High Court announced it affirmed an earlier decision by the Qingpu District People’s Court of Shanghai, which ordered Tenggu Company to pay LEGO ¥35 million in economic damages

in a trademark infringement litigation.  LEGO holds registered trademark rights in China for “乐高,” “乐高教育,” “LEGO,” and “LEGO EDUCATION” under Class 41 educational services.

The decision was based on Civil Code Article 1185, which allows punitive damages for intentional intellectual property infringement with serious circumstances, and Trademark Law Article 57, which defines trademark infringement including unauthorized use of identical or similar marks.

The case is now final.
