Barbie Versus Bratz??
A legal battle is under way between Mattel (creator of Barbie plus owner of other play dolls such as Corolle and American Girl)and MGA Entertainment, maufacturer of BRATZ fashion dolls.
The litigation began in 2004 when Mattel sued former employee Carter Bryant . . . who now works with Bratz dolls.
Then in 2005, MGA sued Mattel for copy of their products etc.
In 2006, Mattel sued again against a number of MGA employees and affiliates.
MGA has hired Thomas J. Nolan, trial lawyer who stated:
"I am honored to be selected as MGA Entertainment's lead trial counsel. I look forward to standing before a jury to explain how BRATZ took on Barbie and outsold her around the world the old-fashioned way . . . by out competing Mattel with a more popular and hip product."
The gloves are OFF!!
