A US federal jury has awarded Mattel Inc. US$100 million in damages in a federal copyright lawsuit that pitted the house of Barbie against MGA Entertainment.
MGA, which is the maker of the Bratz doll, the main rival to Barbie, has been told to pay a total of $90 million in three causes of action related to Mattel's employment contract with designer Carter Bryant, who developed the Bratz concept.
The jury also ordered MGA and subsidiaries to pay a total of $10 million for copyright infringement.
The damages turned on the question of whether jurors believed MGA should only be held responsible for profits derived from the first four Bratz dolls, which came from Bryant's drawings, or from all the subsequent Bratz dolls and related products.
