The manufacturer of the Bratz doll, seeking to revive its $1 billion antitrust lawsuit against Mattel Inc., has asserted that the Barbie maker’s seven years of “baseless litigation” enabled it to maintain a monopoly in the fashion doll market and attempt to put MGA Entertainment Inc., its competitor, out of business.
“MGA has been irreparably harmed by abusive litigation spanning seven years to date, expending countless resources, and will never be able to recover its prior market position or undo the damage Mattel caused to the value of MGA’s company, brands, goodwill and reputation,” MGA attorney Maxwell Blecher of Blecher & Collins in Los Angeles wrote in court papers filed Tuesday. “Here, the undisputed facts are that Mattel prevented the sale of a competitive product and destroyed the value of a competitive company by pursuing scorched earth, baseless litigation as an anti-competitive business objective.”
