Mattel appeals in battle of Bratz dolls

Lawyers for Mattel filed papers declaring their intent to appeal against a US federal judge’s award of more than $309m to rival toy maker MGA Entertainment in the fight over ownership of the popular Bratz fashion doll line.

The El Segundo-based toy giant said in a statement that filling a notice of appeal preserves its right to appeal all of US District Court Judge David O. Carter’s and the jury’s decisions in the case.
