Mattel Inc. v. MGA Entertainment Inc.

Barbie, the iconic children's toy, and Bratz Dolls were involved in an extensive legal battle regarding the intellectual property rights each side claimed were being violated. Specifically, MGA Entertainment (the maker of the Bratz Dolls) claimed Mattel copied the big-headed and slim-bodied physique of Bratz Dolls. Mattel countersued claiming Bratz designer Carter Bryant designed the Bratz Dolls while an employee of Mattel.
