claim (“sustracción de materia”). In particular, the Court found that the plaintiff failed to prove either the breach
or the threat to the collective rights that plaintiff had alleged in the action. As a result, the Court found that the
collective action that plaintiff had pursued (“acción popular”) was inappropriate.
The time period for plaintiff to appeal the Court’s decision expired on October 30, 2008. Because the plaintiff
failed to file a notice of appeal, the Judgment in Mattel’s favor is final.
