A bit of history:
Mattel sued Aqua and the band’s label, MCA, claiming trademark and copyright infringement. Courts dismissed the lawsuits. In 2002, a judge ruled the Aqua song was protected as parody and also tossed out a defamation suit against Mattel filed by MCA.
The ruling included a sentence rarely found in legal opinions: “The parties are advised to chill.” Now, it appears, Mattel has taken that advice.
