Abstract

The article discusses a legal case where a California federal court awarded $71.4 million in compensatory and punitive damages to rapper T.I. and his wife after a legal battle against a toy manufacturer, MGA Entertainment. The dispute centered around MGA's dolls allegedly infringing on the trade dress and publicity rights of the OMG Girlz pop group owned by the plaintiffs. The case highlights the importance of considering trade dress and publicity rights when developing products inspired by artists, entertainers, or influencers. [Extracted from the article]
