In the Bratz versus Barbie battle, the 9th Circuit on Thursday tweaked its earlier opinion in a way the winning side says is the court's pre-emptive strike at thwarting U.S. Supreme Court review.

The appellate lawyer for Bratz doll maker MGA says the opinion changes are evidence the court has "caught on to Mattel's game of extending this litigation endlessly."
