01/28/1958 AD patented
The modern brick design is developed and a patent application is filed in Denmark on 28 January 1958 then in various other countries in the subsequent few years.
It had taken five years to find the right material for it — ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) polymer.
By 1954, Christiansen's son, Godtfred, had become the junior managing director of the Lego Group. It was his conversation with an overseas buyer that led to the idea of a toy system. Godtfred saw the immense potential in Lego bricks to become a system for creative play, but the bricks still had some problems from a technical standpoint: their locking ability was limited, and they were not versatile.
