Well, what they didn't put in papers is that Carter Bryant did offer the supposed "drawings" to Mattel, but they rejected it. So he made new drawings and gave them to MGA. But because they looked so "similar" Mattel sued. Well, the thing is MGA sued first because Myscene looked so much like Bratz, but then Mattel retaliated by saying that they could because they had the rights to it in the first place, and now it made this big mess. But I think it's a little far-fetched to remove the dolls completely. This is supposed to be for kids. How can they teach children to work together and get along and not be greedy with their toys, if they don't preach what they teach?
No they aren't just dolls, they're money....;)if I had come up with Bratz or Barbie I'd be a rich Billionaire! Yea, this is obviously a scam so Mattel can knock off the competition. That's just like anyone who fights against a big long-lasting company, like Disney. Imagine someone suing Disney...they lost the case just thinking about it! And Mattel probably made up half the evidence they produced, they're really crooked. More justice needs to be served than this. This government has a strange way of handling things. I still think Mattel offered the court half it's surplus....
