Beth Treffeisen<\/a>, Boston.com;\u00a0A Lego copyright fight over a jacket worn on \u2018Queer Eye\u2019 is headed toward trial<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

“Concannon learned about the minifigure in September 2021. His lawyers wrote in court documents that he said he was initially \u201chappy\u201d to see the jacket featured in the set. He later realized, his lawyers wrote, that a \u201cmajor company had misappropriated his art without credit or compensation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In an Instagram\u00a0post<\/a>, Concannon said he reached out to Lego asking for a free set.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was sad on the release date to be told \u2018we can\u2019t send you a box, but you can buy one,\u2019\u201d Concannon\u2019s post read. \u201cI used to really like legos. Now = intellectual property theft.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lego argued that Concannon had given Porowski an implied license to use the jacket as part of his likeness, which Porowski could then license to Lego. The company also argued that its version was sufficiently transformed to qualify as fair use.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
