The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has thrown out a district court judge's ruling that granted ownership of the Bratz fashion doll property to Mattel, which had ordered MGA Entertainment to stop selling the dolls. The decision could result in a new trial.

In April 2009, a federal judge sustained the $100 million jury verdict giving Mattel ownership of Bratz, but in December the appeals court suspended the order.
