Jurassic Park Returns to Ideas Posted by glenbricker, 24 Oct 2014 16:36

Since it was announced that LEGO would be on board with Jurassic World, it was pretty clear that the Jurassic Park license was going to be allowed back to Ideas eventually, and that time has now come.

Jurassic Park is therefore the second property to accomplish this; Doctor Who being the first.

For a quick review of how IP works on Ideas, in practice any IP that is not obviously outside of brand fit or on the "verboten list", can be posted to Ideas. When a project reaches 1000 support and 5000 support, there is usually a check for availability of the IP prior to the Official Comment by the Ideas staff. If the license for construction toys is being held by a third party, that project, and all projects with that IP are archived, and it is added to the "verboten list". Occasionally, subjects will be added from the review process (like Firefly) or if they get a lot of attention (Green Day).

Senteosan has already resubmitted his very popular project that was taken down when the IP was swept.

The review process, interestingly enough, holds true for even the most obvious of licensing conflicts such as properties that are exclusively held by Hasbro, such as Transformers (example project here), which even already has its own construction toy line.
