Representative Clients Mattel eBay Nike K-Swiss Airborne, Inc Archipelago, Inc. FTD Bad Boy Brands Roommates.com Notable Representations Represented Mattel, Inc. in its highly-publicized copyright action against MGA Entertainment, manufacturer of "Bratz" dolls, and Carter Bryant, Bratz's creator. After a three-month trial, won a unanimous jury verdict that Bryant had created the "Bratz" name and virtually all Bratz design drawings, prototypes and sculpts while he was a Mattel employee and therefore were Mattel's property. Further won jury verdicts of copyright infringement, tortious interference with contract and other business torts in Mattel's favor and a damages award to Mattel in excess of $100 million. Subsequently obtained an injunction prohibiting MGA's further manufacture and sale of Bratz dolls and requiring MGA to recall infringing products from retail shelves. Represented Nike when adidas prevailed on claims in Europe that Nike's use of two stripes on apparel infringed adidas's three-stripe trademark. Filed the complaint on Nike's behalf in the District Court of Oregon seeking a declaration that Nike's use of two stripes and other decorative striping on apparel and footwear in the United States did not infringe or dilute adidas's three-stripe mark. After positioning the case to put the scope of adidas's three-stripe mark at issue, adidas conceded the case and filed a broad covenant not to sue Nike in the United States over apparel and footwear products incorporating a wide variety of multi-stripe designs, including all Nike two-stripe products. Successfully defended Nike against a $40 million trade dress and patent infringement claims by a rival shoe company over Nike's Air Jordan XVII basketball shoe. Obtained multi-million dollar verdict, injunction and award of attorneys' fees in a trade dress infringement action for Mattel.
