The ongoing lawsuit over Bratz games has just dragged on a bit more. A new trial date has been awarded to the two companies who are doing battle over the Bratz games and some elements that Barbie is said to have as well. In the original lawsuit, Bratz maker MGA Entertainment accused Barbie maker Mattel of taking some times from the Bratz line and using them on the Barbie line. Mattel then countersued that MGA was actually in copyright violation since the man credited with the creation of the Bratz games actually worked at Mattel at the time.
It’s tricky to say who’s right and who’s wrong, but it’s getting a bit tiresome. Surely by now they could have worked something out. Bratz games lost the first lawsuit and was ordered to turn over everything related to Bratz. That judgment was overturned and now things are back up in the air. Hopefully it will all work out eventually.
