Barbie vs. Barbie's
= 
?For an interesting proposition involving trademark, check out Barbie vs. Barbie's - Eatery Suit to Supreme Court. While it's a Canadian dispute, it's still an interesting case.
The mammoth California-based toy company is battling a Quebec restaurateur over Barbie's -- even though the name refers to the menu's barbecued food.
Mattel is suing to shut down a BBQ joint in Quebec called "Barbie's," on the grounds that very stupid children might wander alone into the bar/restaurant and order ribs under the mistaken impression that they have something to do with the Barbie dolls.
