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.
