To me it's not at all about trademark protection (I wouldn't write it in all-caps), it's just about how weird it sounds to make it a plural.
In Swedish (Lego is from Denmark, but our languages are pretty similar) it's exactly that, a mass uncountable object.
A bit like saying "this castle is made out of sands" when talking about a sand castle. It's grains of sands vs sand; pieces of Lego vs just Lego to me.
Of course this is all natural language and there is no right or wrong and so on, I just wanted to provide a perspective since it seemed like you interpreted the parent comment differently from how I did.

- collyw 11y agoLego, or Lego bricks is what would say as a native English speaker, but I guess its really up to the Danes.
- MindTwister 11y agoIn danish you usually something is made from "Lego klodser", or simply "Lego", so either the plural is on the bricks part, or not there at all.
