Mattel Inc. won dismissal of an antitrust lawsuit by MGA Entertainment Inc., the toymaker that sought $1 billion in damages alleging Mattel violated antitrust laws in a dispute over Bratz dolls.
U.S. District Court David Carter in Santa Ana, California, yesterday dismissed MGA’s complaint. The judge had thrown out the case in October, saying MGA’s allegations should have been raised in previous litigation, and allowed the closely held company to file an amended complaint. This time, he didn’t grant leave to refile.
