= Bratz: Whose idea is it anyway? = Ideas are sticky things, especially if you come up with an idea while you're working for a company and then want to leave that company with that idea and compete with your former employer.

The recent hubbub over the popular Bratz doll line involving Mattel and a designer who used to work for the toy giant is a good example of what not to do if you're working for "The Man" and have dreams of going off on your own to start a business that's similar to your old boss' company.

Mattel claimed that the company manufacturing Bratz stole the idea for the doll through a "secret collaboration" with a former Mattel toy designer. A court in California agreed with Mattel on many points in a decision late last week.

Basically, the company proved that the designer had been working for Mattel when he designed the funky, big-headed Bratz dolls, which look like a hipper version of Barbie.
