📰 In the Barbie vs Bratz doll epic saga, the owner of Barbie, Mattel Inc. had accused that MGA Entertainment had infringed and copied their famous Barbie dolls. They alleged that their former employee, Carter Bryant who left to join MGA had breached his confidentiality and inventions agreement by selling his ideas to MGA Entertainment Inc. It was later held that although unique “a young, female fashion doll with exaggerated proportions” is an unprotectable idea, and that “large heads, thick lips, high cheekbones, slim arms, long legs, and slim torsos” are also unprotectable. As, for Carter Bryant, the court held that Mattel’s “Employee Confidential and Inventions Agreement” does not contain the word “ideas” and was thus dismissed.
