Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Event | Subsequent Event On February 13, 2018, the Los Angeles County Superior Court granted Mattel’s summary judgment motion on the grounds that the complaint filed by MGA in January 2014 is barred by the statute of limitations. Consistent with this ruling, Mattel anticipates that the Court will enter a final judgment for Mattel. MGA can seek to appeal such a judgment to the California Court of Appeal. In light of the Court’s summary judgment ruling in favor of Mattel, however, Mattel does not presently believe that damages in any amount are reasonably possible. Accordingly, no liability has been accrued to date. For additional information, see "Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Commitments and Contingencies."
