Review ------ “A thrilling tale of dueling toymakers, corporate espionage and a group of brats taking on the queen of the Dreamhouse.” - Lee Rawles, American Bar Association Journal “In the hands of Lobel… this case study in who should benefit from an employee’s creativity becomes something of a page-turner.” - Emma Jacobs, Financial Times “The Barbie vs Bratz case tells a compelling story and is an effective vehicle for Lobel’s call for creative freedom.” - Rebecca Asher, Times Literary Supplement “This book is a courtroom drama, a corporate exposé, and a case study of cutthroat creativity. Orly Lobel deftly explains why ownership of ideas should belong to people, not companies.” - Adam Grant, New York Times best-selling author of Originals “Captivating.… Holds up a lipstick-pink mirror to both American consumer culture and corporate misbehaviour.” - Laura Frost, Times Higher Education “A thrill ride through backstabbing competition, business strategies, and the marketing of the American icon Barbie. Who knew intellectual property law could be such a page turner? An amazing story and a great read.” - Jonah Berger, best-selling author of Contagious and Invisible Influence “Intellectual-property law made vivid, via an engaging narrative about the litigation surrounding, of all ‘people,’ Barbie.” - Harvard Magazine “A powerful, engrossing survey of business and social issues.” - Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review “Fascinating.… Lobel pens a gripping tale of corporate malevolence, courtroom betrayal, and copyright hijinks… [and] tells the tale with verve and omb.” - Michael M. Rosen, Claremont Review of Books “A fascinating, inful, and accessible book with relevance for entrepreneurship and business in general, for copyright law and the legal profession as a whole, for individual success and the success of our economy.
