Hilary Page invented the Kiddicraft Self-Locking Building Bricks in 1939. LEGO received a sample with an injection-moulding machine it bought, made its own version from 1949, and only in 1958 added the tubes inside that give today's bricks their grip. In 1981 LEGO paid Page's family for the right to keep using the design.
