The husband and wife musicians sought nearly $100 million from MGA Entertainment, Inc., which began selling the OMG LOL Surprise dolls in 2019.

The Harris family claimed the hair, dress and name of the dolls were nearly identical to the OMG Girlz, a trio of teenage singers promoted by the couple from 2009 until 2015, and during a brief 2017 reunion.The toy maker prevailed on Friday, May 26 after their attorneys argued the girl group allowed their trademark on the OMG Girlz name to lapse in 2018.

The OMG Girlz’ attorney, John Keville, pointed out that the group had a sizeable following on social media and were popular in the Atlanta area, where they were most active. He said they amassed a strong fan base among Black teenage girls, and still maintained their social media presence. “Number one, David Bowie didn’t look like this,” Keville said displaying Major Lady, who sported pale skin and red hair. “Number two, it’s odd to say you’re marketing to little girls and you’re inspired by David Bowie.”
