On November 8, 2010, MGA Entertainment, Inc. (“MGA”) removed IP Defenders, Inc.’s misappropriation lawsuit from Texas state court to the Northern District of Texas (pdf copy of the original petition located here). IP Defenders claims that it is the assignee of Innovation First, Inc., and that MGA Entertainment has “copycatted” Innovation First’s HEXBUG NANO micro robotic toys. IP Defenders asserts causes of action for misappropriation and unjust enrichment.
IP Defenders is represented by Kelly Hine and J Kristopher Long, both of Fish & Richardson; and Robert Scott, of Scott, Money & Ray, PLLC.
MGA is represented by Michael Anderson, Hugh Connor, II, and Preston Mundt, all of Kelly Hart & Hallman.
The case is pending before Judge Solis.
