Actually it is FAR FROM Stupid, the contract the Bratz creator had with Mattel is a pretty common type of contract, pretty much a "Right of first refusal" wherein ANYTHING created or developed during time of employment will belong to the company UNLESS they pass on it.
Exclusive = Exclusive.....
Back when Steve Jobs & Steve Woz. made the first "home computer" Woz was under EXCLUSIVE contract with IBM, before Jobs & Woz could go try to sell it, they HAD to let IBM have first crack at it... which we all know IBM passed LMAO.
