Mattel wants the Bratz banned

Mattel, the makers of the Barbie, recently won a prolonged legal battle with MGA, the manufacturers of Bratz. A federal court ruled that MGA was to be banned from making and selling ”the saucy Barbie alternative.” Why? Apparently, the court found that the creator of Bratz came up with the idea while working for Mattel. Hence, the idea belongs to the house that Barbie built.

So, it appears that there is a copyright issue. Carter Bryant was employed by Mattel at the time the Bratz were designed. I guess because Barbies aren’t as popular as they once were and Bratz are very popular; Mattel wants them gone! I’m sure if Bratz dolls weren’t a success then this would not even be an issue. I spoke with my 6 year old cousin and asked her what did she want Santa to bring her, she told me a Bratz suitcase, a Bratz doll, and she named 3 other Bratz items,oh, and then she said a Barbie. What am I supposed to get her for Christmas if they get pulled from the shelves????
