520 "The battle between Mattel, the makers of the iconic
Barbie doll, and MGA, the company that created the Bratz
dolls, was not just a war over best-selling toys, but a
war over who owns ideas. When Carter Bryant began
designing what would become the billion-dollar line of
Bratz dolls, he was taking time off from his job at Mattel,
where he designed outfits for Barbie. Later, back at
Mattel, he sold his concept for Bratz to rival company
MGA. Law professor Orly Lobel reveals the colorful story
behind the ensuing decade-long court battle. This
entertaining and provocative work pits audacious MGA
against behemoth Mattel, shows how an idea turns into a
product, and explores the two different versions of
womanhood, represented by traditional all-American Barbie
and her defiant, anti-establishment rival--the only doll
to come close to outselling her. In an era when workers
may be asked to sign contracts granting their employers
the rights to and income resulting from their ideas--
whether conceived during work hours or on their own time--
Lobel's deeply researched story is a riveting and thought-
provoking contribution to the contentious debate over
creativity and intellectual property." -- Amazon.com.
