Mattel Inc. has asked a federal appeals court to reverse the $310 million judgment against it in a long-running legal battle over the Bratz dolls, maintaining that its failed infringement allegations didn’t justify “the largest copyright fee award in history.”
In its opening brief before the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, filed on Monday, Mattel challenged U.S. District Judge David Carter’s entire judgment. Carter on Aug. 4, 2011, ordered Mattel to pay $85 million in compensatory damages, $85 million in exemplary damages, $107.9 million in attorneys’ fees and $32 million in costs to MGA Entertainment Inc., maker of the Bratz doll.
