How to Identify a Counterfeit LEGO Minifigure and Brick

[stackables]

Anyone have any pictures of Jek-14 from 75018?  I just bought a lot of figs and it had several of him.  I took a quick look at the fig and I can't find any lego logos on the fig.  I assume that means these are all fake.

Found this piece in a bulk lot and the quality feels weak but has Lego printed on the studs. Are there any fakes out there that have tried to print on the studs? See picture

That's a very old Lego logo. I think that brick is from the 50s or 60s.

Here is a BrickLink picture of bricks from 1958. Look very similar.

Yep, not fake, just old

Edit: Look on the back to see if it says Patent Pending.
