Jewish-Iranian Gets Booted in Bratz Trial
From: The Corporate Legal Times
Four organizations representing Jewish and Iranian Americans have filed an amicus brief before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals arguing that a federal judge who dismissed a juror during deliberations for having described Iranians as “stubborn,” “rude” and thieves of others’ ideas should also have granted a new trial for the plaintiff, who was born in Iran. The case involves the long-running copyright dispute between MGA Entertainment, manufacturer of the Bratz doll, and Barbie doll maker Mattel.
