: Legal Pad | LALocal inventors accuse toy maker of patent infringement
By Richard Binder
Cindy Reichman and Shelly Conte, a Fresno mother-and-daughter inventor team, are suing Jakk's Pacific for $100 million in damages for allegedly stealing their concept for a talking doll that plays hide-and-seek.
The lawsuit, filed in Fresno County Superior Court, stems from a doll the mother and daughter created and patented called Hide-N-Seek Hayley. The doll was sold nationwide in 2005 at Toys "R" Us and Kmart, becoming a top seller that year.

In their lawsuit, Reichman and Conte say the $100 million includes punitive damages, loss of sales and potential royalties.
