Forbes reports that a federal jury in Orange County has awarded $53.6 million in punitive damages, on top of $17.8 million in compensatory damages, in a lawsuit alleging that toymaker MGA’s “O.M.G.” line of dolls violated the intellectual property rights of music group OMG Girlz.
If this award were to survive posttrial and appellate review, it would be larger than all but two awards that have survived appellate review in the California court system.
