    Hi LAN Ambassadors,

    I received an update from the LDD development team. They have been working on the gallery feature and from this week the new gallery will be launched. The new gallery will be empty when launched and moving forwards users of LDD will be saving their model to the hard drive and then uploading it to the gallery.

    This means that if you have any content stored in the LDD Gallery that you wish to save please save the content to your hard drive immediately! 

    Edit: If you are working on a model right now, you need to finish that model because it is not possible to upload the .lxf format to the new gallery and continue building on a model from the old gallery!

    You can upload your creation again on the new gallery in a .png (image) format, but your creation will not be moved to the new gallery automatically. 

    Sorry, for the inconvenience.

    The LEGO® trademark recognised as a well-known trademark in China


    The Beijing Higher Court passed a ruling earlier this year [July 22, 2017] that recognises the LEGO® logo and the
    LEGO name in Chinese as ’well-known’ trademarks in China. The well-known trademark recognition is an
    important milestone in getting broader protection for LEGO trademarks in China. This means that the LEGO Group
    is now in a better position to act against infringement of LEGO trademarks also outside the toy category.


    Peter Thorslund Kjær, Vice President, Legal Affairs in the LEGO Group, said: “The ruling by the Beijing Higher Court
    is very important for the LEGO Group. It reflects the significant effort and investment put into marketing the LEGO
    brand and products towards the Chinese consumers, and it further reduces the risk that consumers in China are
    misled when they see the LEGO logo or the LEGO name in future. We are now in a better legal position acting
    against infringement of LEGO trademarks and defending our trademark portfolio.


    “We see this as a recognition of our status in China as a known and loved brand by parents and children, and we
    appreciate the support from the Chinese government and authorities to ensure the continued protection of
    millions of Chinese consumers as well as our unique trademark and logo.”


    The LEGO Group actively protects its trademarks globally and each year brings relevant cases to courts to ensure
    that consumers can always trust that a product carrying the LEGO logo or featuring the characteristic LEGO design
    is genuine.


    “Since 1932 the LEGO name and the LEGO logo have been a guarantee of the highest safety and quality standards.
    We are committed to doing what it takes to protect children and assure parents that when a product features a
    LEGO logo it will offer the best quality, as well as be great fun to play with. We will continue to take action globally
    when we see attempts to mislead consumers and infringement of our trademarks and copyrights,” said Thorslund
    Kjær.


    What consumers can do to ensure they get a genuine LEGO experience:
    • Look for the LEGO logo and LEGO name on the product
    • Look for the LEGO name on the bricks inside the box. Every genuine LEGO element has the LEGO name on it.


    What makes LEGO products unique:
    • All LEGO elements made since 1958 fit together.
    • Each element has to pass thorough tests to ensure the durability and clutch power as well as physical safety
    requirements.
    • All raw materials used to manufacture LEGO bricks are thoroughly tested to ensure they meet the strictest
    global requirements for safety.

    Q&A:
    Can Reg. Fan Media and Online Communities publish this initiative?
    We want to developed a GWP which is popular in the adult fan community. So, we want involve as many adults as possible. The only trick is for these communities to collect it in a meaningful way: on a top 5 prioritised list.

    Are there any limits to how big the set could be? Ex. “large model of the London Bridge”
    The ideas should not be size specific it London bridge can also be built in a smaller model. Focus should be on idea, not final model.

    Where can we learn more about GWP sets?
    To see a few of the past GWP sets, please visit LEGO.com or even better: community created resources like Brickset.com.

    So start putting your ideas here, and please write them simple enough for me to be able to make a prioritized list to send in :wink:!
