Eagles sue California restaurant

Rock group The Eagles are suing a Dallas restaurateur for allegedly violating their trademark by naming the eatery the Hotel California Grill.

Bill Arnold defended the name, saying: "This is a restaurant, not a song. We're not infringing on the rights of Don Henley, Glenn Frey or anyone."

A legal spokesman for the group declined to comment on the case.

Hotel California sold 15 million copies for the band in 1976.
