Dharkan Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 No. The creator left it public domain. But the yellow, round smiley face, the one in pins and stuff is copyrighted I believe. I don't think LEGO pays for it though, if that was what you were wondering. Quote

He is talking about the minifig head and face as pictured. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 The face itself probably isn't trademarked (it's pretty much just a Smiley face), but the minifig as a whole is, as well as the individual parts Since it doesn't make sense to use the face without the rest of the minifig, I guess it can be considered trademarked Quote
CrazyDalton777 Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I don't think facial expressions can be copyrighted/trademarked. The minifigure as a whole, yes but not an expression. Quote
