I doubt this will be resolved before Christmas.


Riverside (AP) -- The maker of Barbie dolls is taking the next step in its lengthy quest to sweep the rival Bratz line from toy store shelves, after winning $100 million in a copyright infringement lawsuit earlier this year.

Attorneys for El Segundo-based Mattel Inc., the world's largest toy maker, are scheduled to appear before U.S. District Judge Stephen Larson on Monday and ask him to ban competitor MGA Entertainment Inc. from making the pouty-lipped Bratz dolls. They also want all Bratz products impounded and destroyed.

The motion for an injunction was filed after a federal jury ruled that Bratz doll designer Carter Bryant came up with the edgy concept while working for Mattel.
