Chicago Astronomer's Trademark Suit Against American Girl Doll Resolved

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A lawsuit filed against the Wisconsin-based maker of American Girl dolls has been resolved.

Chicago astronomer Lucianne Walkowicz had accused the company of stealing her likeness and name to create a doll. She filed federal trademark lawsuit last year.

American Girl called her "Luciana Vega."

Walkowicz had asked American Girl to stop selling the doll. Both sides settled, but there were not a lot of details on the agreement.

She spent much of her career with NASA and has lectured extensively on Mars exploration.
