(Or old enough to know who Great White used to be.)
This is the most sensible thing said in this thread. Yes, the law is there. Yes, there are agencies that are supposed to be enforcing it. It is also true that in the case of some foreign company copying your Lego design, you are pretty much left without recourse.
Are you from MI?
Six degrees of Axl Rose?
I actually post on Mygnrforum.com as well, so for me (in my best castanza voice) "worlds are colliding!!!"
Lepin own by Guangdong Loongon is one of big china toy company (that probably back up by China Goverment)
I heard they make just make new factory few month ago.
So they will back with new logo and box.
Im sure it is also PR for China to say to other companies 'look, we take infringement seriously (as long as you 'pay the piper' first anyway).
The whole Lepin knock-off thing might be a fun theme for another Lego movie. It can follow the whole Invasion of the Body Snatchers idea like the first movie did with the Matrix.
“In October 2018, the Shanghai police found that Lepin building blocks available on the market were extremely similar to that of Lego," police said.
Presumably because the authorities there are notoriously lax in their oversight of goings on in the country...

I don't think Their factory location it's secret ?
Oh, and they also found almost $30 million in cash lying around. That’s a good indication that Lepin had been doing rather well with its knockoffs.
Um, What !!?
CCC said: I think brand that focus on minifig like Decool,SY,Xinh and Pogo is gonna be fine.
Lego target Lepin because they copy every lego set.
a least Decool and SY have mocs set
On the other hand, conspiracy theories occur in all kinds of media. 😉
