Project Guidelines and House Rules

LEGO® CUUSOO allows you to submit your ideas to be considered as future LEGO products, and allows you to vote on and discuss others' ideas to help the LEGO Group decide what to release. LEGO CUUSOO values originality, creativity, and new ideas. Please refer to the following guidelines for creating and submitting projects.

Project Guidelines

By creating a LEGO CUUSOO Project, you accept the LEGO CUUSOO Terms of Service. Here is a plain-language version of the most important elements within those terms:

  1. Your submissions must be original. You attest you are the original creator of the LEGO model or idea and you have the exclusive right to submit your model to LEGO CUUSOO.
  2. Your submissions are your own work and no one else's. You agree that you will not upload images that belong to someone else as a part of your project, even if that person gives you permission. If you want someone else's idea to become a reality through LEGO CUUSOO, please ask them to post it.
  3. You are at least 18 years old. To submit a project, you must be legally able to enter into a contract with us in case we decide to commercialize your idea. If you are 13 or older, you are welcome to vote, and comment on projects.
  4. You grant us the rights we need to commercialize your idea. For your idea to become reality, the LEGO Group must have the exclusive rights to manufacture, distribute, market, and sell your idea. We're not trying to take away your ability to post and share your model, though. You can continue to do that as you wish on your own website and online profiles.
  5. You will receive credit and compensation for your original ideas. These ideas are broken down and handled as follows:
    1. Original Model Ideas. You will receive 1% of net sales if your LEGO CUUSOO Project is chosen and the LEGO Group commercializes it as a LEGO set.
    2. Original Part Ideas. You will receive a one-time flat fee as remuneration for a part idea that is produced, to be determined by the LEGO Group.
    3. Original Model Ideas based on Licensed IP. You will receive 1% of net sales if the model you submitted is based on third-party intellectual property (e.g. Star Wars™ or Angry Birds™) and is your original work.
  6. You may collaborate with others, but only if we get specific permission from everyone. You must read and follow these instructions to register your collaborative project with us within one week of starting a new collaborative project, or your project may be removed.
  7. Please don't use the LEGO logo in a misleading way in your Projects. Using the LEGO logo can confuse others into thinking the LEGO Group endorses your project. You are welcome to mock up box art, but please leave our logo out, thanks.
  8. Please don't submit projects requesting the re-release of discontinued LEGO products or themes. LEGO CUUSOO is designed for new and original ideas. Projects requesting that we re-issue or "bring back" old products will be removed.
  9. There may be unintentional overlap between your ideas and our current product development. If the LEGO Group introduces a product similar to an idea submitted on LEGO CUUSOO you understand and acknowledge that any coincidence is unintentional and release the LEGO Group against any claims of infringement.

House Rules

Help us keep a fun and respectful atmosphere with a focus on sharing new ideas for LEGO products. Respect the following common-sense house rules:

  1. Be respectful. Keep your remarks constructive and respectful. Don't be offensive, creepy, abusive, humiliating or intimidating and don't attack, harass, or impersonate others.
  2. Stay on-topic. Comments for a specific project are intended for that project only. Do not post links to your own project on someone else's project. Off-topic remarks or unintelligible comments (made in ALL CAPS, txtspeak, chatspeak, and the like) will be considered spam and removed by moderators. All content not related to LEGO products will be removed.
  3. Don't advertise, preach, or campaign. LEGO CUUSOO is not a venue for preaching or disseminating your political or religious views. It is also not a venue to advertise a business, non-profit, or charitable cause. Content that is intended to advertise, campaign, or promote a political/religious viewpoint as well as content intended to put down a political/religious belief held by another person or group of people will be removed.
  4. Keep it clean. LEGO CUUSOO is to be a good, clean environment. Don't create projects or make comments containing hate speech or related to alcohol, drugs, tobacco, politics, sex; or any kind of content containing realistic or extreme violence, or content intended to shock or disgust.
  5. We will step in if we must. We reserve the right to remove any projects or comments that violate the guidelines. Repeated violations will result in suspension or ban from LEGO CUUSOO.
