This article is for subscribers only.
Mattel Inc. said in a court filing that it will appeal a judge’s award of punitive damages and fees to MGA Entertainment Inc., the maker of Bratz dolls.
Mattel said it will ask the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco to review an Aug. 4 ruling awarding MGA $225 million in punitive damages, attorney fees and costs. That ruling by U.S. District Judge David Carter in Santa Ana, California, brought the total award in the trial over the doll’s origins to $310 million.
