Pipkin Detective Agency News Release: $71M Verdict awarded to T.I. and Tiny Harris

On September 23, 2024, T.I. and Tiny Harris were awarded $71 million in damages after a jury found that MGA Entertainment’s “L.O.L. Surprise! O.M.G.” dolls had infringed on the intellectual property of their girl group, OMG Girlz. This outcome came after several trials, including a mistrial and an initial loss, but the couple successfully argued that the dolls copied the group’s likeness and style. The jury concluded that the dolls violated trade dress and image rights, resulting in the large Verdict. The Pipkin Detective Agency assisted Plaintiff’s Lawyer throughout the Trial.
