Enlighten is a toy company in China who makes a is a popular line of construction toys manufactured by the Lego Group.

Rivalry with Lego
Also in 2003, a large shipment of Enighten products marketed was seized by Finland customs authorities. The packaging of the Enlighten products was similar to official Lego packaging. Their Chinese manufacturer failed to appear in court, and thus Lego won a default action ordering the destruction of the shipment. Lego Group footed the bill for the disposal of the 54,000 sets, citing a desire to avoid brand confusion and protect consumers from potentially inferior products.[1]
