In Denmark there's Galleri Lego (an art gallery) named after the owner Louise Lego. LEGO sued her but the lawsuit went all the way to high court where she won the right to use the name. Presumably people don't easily confuse art with toys.

- moksly 5y agoWe have a long and proud history of big brands suing the little guy over names in Denmark. It never results in what the big brand wants, some have even gone bankrupt on the wake of it. Over all it’s more a capitalism thing though. Companies simply become inherently evil entities when they reach a certain size, and on the odd chance they don’t that is not the norm. We’ve sort of solved it here in Denmark, by having co-operative ownerships where the profits all go back into the companies, which tends to keep their investor based competition in check, but there is no competition to Lego.
