In a stunning reversal of fortune for both MGA and its lawyers at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, a federal jury in Santa Ana sided with MGA in its long-running dispute with Mattel over the rights to the Bratz dolls.
An eight-person jury found that Mattel does not own the rights to the Bratz dolls and MGA did not steal Mattel’s trade secrets. Orrick’s team was lead by Annette Hurst and Warrington Parker. MGA was also represented by Jennifer Keller of Keller Rackauckas. Led by John Quinn, Quinn, Emanuel, Urquhart & Sullivan represented Mattel.
