T.I. and Tiny's Lawsuit Against Toy Maker Ends in Defeat
T.I. and Tiny have lost their $100 million copyright infringement lawsuit against MGA Entertainment, the makers of L.O.L. Surprise! dolls. The lawsuit alleged that the dolls stole the name, likeness, and trade dress of OMG Girlz, a pop trio founded by Tiny in 2009. After a mistrial in January, the case went back to trial this month, and the jury ruled in favor of MGA Entertainment in less than two hours. MGA CEO Isaac Larian called the lawsuit a "shakedown."
