Wie mag sich der Siegeszug des wei\u00dfen Klemmbausteins<\/a><\/u> hergestellt aus Hartkunststoff abgespielt haben? Wie konnten die Grauen die Welt erobern? Tatsache ist, dass der Psychologe und Erfinder Hilary (Harry) Fisher Page<\/a><\/u> invented the first construction block between 1937 and 1940, and in 1940 he registered it’s related patent. It is also a fact that from 1940 the UK had to deal with the problem of the Second World War so that further patents followed only in 1947, 1949 and 1952. In the chronicle of his company Kiddicraft<\/a><\/u>, it says: Mr. “Page became deeply troubled with these pressures on the business and feared a total collapse of the company. Tragically, he committed suicide on June 24, 1957.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Es ist auch davon auszugehen, dass ein inzwischen weltbekanntes Unternehmen diese Noppensteine \u00fcbernahm und damit weitaus gr\u00f6\u00dfere und langfristige Erfolge erzielte. Deren Patent wurde 1958 in Kopenhagen angemeldet. Es ist auch ziemlich sicher, dass eine andere Firma aus dem Vereinigten K\u00f6nigreich, die 1997 unter dem Namen Best-Lock<\/a><\/u>, learned about Mr. Page’s patents, which, after many court decisions, made it possible for them to establish themselves on the building block market, and nowadays even more companies. However, it must be admitted that since then the boundaries between the monopolist, which has been working in peace for many years, and the newcomers, which can no longer be bitten off, are still being defined in detail by the courts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Die lange Zeitachse des Plagiats<\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

What always underlies all disputes is unauthorized copying. The word plagiarism is now on everyone’s lips. Molds of terminal blocks are pirated, for example, but construction plans are also copied. There is patent protection for certain functions of clamp building blocks, i.e. not its shape, but its intended use. You will notice that sounds like a complex matter. On the positive side, so far no child has been convicted for using their own creativity to create something that has already been patented.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, plagiarism is already an issue with the big competitors, especially since massive sums of money are involved. On the one hand, for example, a European manufacturer pays for the rights on Star Wars to the current copyright holder Disney, on the other hand, its own development costs and sales shortfall. There was a good example of a Chinese company dedicated to the Star Wars product series, where you can hardly distinguish what comes from which manufacturer, if not different logos and details in the outer packaging would allow conclusions. I don’t think we need something like so etwas<\/a><\/u> in Europa brauchen, oder?<\/span><\/p>\n

Es gibt Meinungen, die besagen, dass die Inspiration der Noppensteine in den Anker-Steinbauk\u00e4sten<\/a><\/u>\u00a0liegt, die seit 1995 wieder produziert werden. Der ber\u00fchmte P\u00e4dagoge Friedrich Fr\u00f6bel<\/a><\/u> legte Kindern geometrische Formen vor, mit denen sie ihre Kreativit\u00e4t entwickeln sollten. Keine Geringeren als die weltber\u00fchmten Br\u00fcder Gustav<\/a><\/u> und Otto<\/a><\/u> Lilienthal erfanden und vermarkteten die Baukl\u00f6tze zusammen mit dem Baukasten im Jahr 1879. Die Baukl\u00f6tze halten sich nur durch ihre Reibung und Schwerkraft. Wahrscheinlich waren die Br\u00fcder, wie viele andere Erfinder auch, ihrer Zeit voraus. Mangels guter Vermarktung verkauften sie die Idee an Friedrich Adolf Richter<\/a><\/u>, der sie dann ab 1882 patentierte und in Th\u00fcringen mit erfolgreicher Vermarktung produzierte. Die Produktion der Anker-Steinbauk\u00e4sten<\/a><\/u> \u00fcberdauerte die beiden Weltkriege bis 1963. Die heute noch expandierende Produktion gilt als preisgekr\u00f6ntes Lernspielzeug. <\/span><\/p>\n

At present, we tend to see the negative things that could have been done better in the age of industrialization that actually took place, from today’s perspective. We have become accustomed to the inventions from that era in everyday life. But the negative was due to the existing system of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Der Fortschritt in der Technik erlaubt es heutzutage auch feinere Strukturen herzustellen, so dass zum Beispiel Modelle wie der BR 650 Dieseltriebwagen<\/a><\/u> naturgetreu nachgebaut werden k\u00f6nnen, auch im Format von Klemmbausteinen.<\/span><\/p>\n

K\u00f6nnt Ihr Euch r\u00fcckblickend vorstellen, wie aufregend die Jahre der Industrialisierung gewesen sind?
