The big controversy on weather or not the inventor of Bratz dolls violated his agreement with Mattel has been stretched out. Trade secret violations about the Bratz doll have gone too far. I Believe that since Mattel was awarded with 100 million dollars you would think that this would be enough for them. Wrong. Mattel believes that they should own all right to the Bratz doll. It is true that inventor of Bratz was in violation due to the fact that his contract with Mattel clearly stated that all things invented while employed with them belong to the company. This is in effect regardless of weather or not he invented the toy on his own time or at the company itself. While I’m sure plenty of other company’s infiltrate their competitors in order to figure out what there new competition will be but the fact that Mattel got caught in the process was over the top. "All of these statements by Mr. Larian were gratuitous and volunteered; are false; and have tainted the trial proceedings such that Mattel cannot get a fair trial," the motion states. While Larian says that all of this trouble over the dolls and how his family is being destroyed are also outrageous. "He clearly associated (his father's) death with the litigation, and it's been an extremely traumatic and emotional experience for him and his family," Parachini said. "He was very upset and is very upset about that." If he continues to go the way that he is not only will Mattel get more because of Bratz but then they could also go for him in other cases such as slander. “Barbie stands for good,” it said. “All others stand for evil.” This statement to me is funny because Barbie has made Mattel for what it is and she is suppose to represent innocence so then why would they continue going after more from Bratz when they represent the complete opposite?
