  (I read this in the paper)            Judge sides with Barbie artist

LOS ANGELES- A Federdal judge dismissed a copyright and trademark infringement lawsuit Monday against a Utah artist who uses Mattel's Barbie dolls in his photographs for social commentary.

"We said the Photos were parodies of the barbie dolls and made a fun of the image they project" said attorney Annette Hurst.

U.S. District Judge Ronald Lew agreed, ruling that because the photographs were a parody they did not hurt Mattel's marketing of a doll.

Artist Tom Forsythe hade used the dolls in a series of photos titled "Food Chain Barbie" to criticize "Barbie's embodiment of America's culture of consumption of conformism" Attel said it would appeal.
