Bratz Games for the Win!


After a very long and drawn out court battle it would appear that Bratz games have the win. The court room drama has been ongoing for some time, and only now after years, has a judge overturned the ruling that was previously in effect and the end result is that the Bratz games may continue as they have for years.

A few years ago Mattel became uncomfortable with the Bratz dolls and decided that the creator of the popular fashion toys had created the dolls based on ideas he’d had while he worked for the company that made Barbie. Mattel sued and won the first case. MGA Entertainment, the company that makes the Bratz dolls was to give up their dolls and hand over everything, including a hefty fine, to Mattel.

But in the appeals process, MGA Entertainment actually won their dispute and appeal, and now the Bratz games are officially safe at last. Unfortunately, the legal business has made the Bratz dolls less of recognizable brand, but it will be interesting watching the dolls make a comeback.
