It's a novel idea and probably novel enough application of existing technologies that he could patent it, but there's absolutely no mention anywhere that he has done so. I don't imagine it will be economical for Lego to produce it themselves, but certainly moreso than to license it from a patent-holder. I don't know the patent system for US / Denmark, if it's first to file though then this guy should be worried.
