Hello!

I have a quick question for DUPLO enthusiasts.
Recently I bought 4 baseplates:

DUPLO, Baseplate: 353:
 
Part No: 353  Name: Duplo, Baseplate 24 x 24
* 
353 Duplo, Baseplate 24 x 24
Parts: DUPLO, Baseplate {Green}

3 green, 1 red.

I took them home, and upon looking closer, I saw that the studs on top don't
read 'LEGO', but DUPLO instead - a font that is a bit different from
the usual LEGO that is on top of Duplo articles.

My question is - are these baseplates legitimate LEGO? Or just an off-brand compatible
with DUPLO on the studs? They look pretty sturdy, same color scheme as with other
Duplo, so I'm wondering if they are actual LEGO or not.

Thank you!
Daniel

Some Duplo is marked DUPLO instead of LEGO so they are real
