No room at the inn for Barbie and her lawyers

Riverside's historic Mission Inn has more than 200 rooms. But none were available when lawyers for toy giant Mattel, which is fighting Bratz doll maker MGA Entertainment in a nearby courthouse, tried to make reservations. The reason? MGA attorneys were already staying at the Mission Inn and didn't want their legal opponents in the same hotel (for fear that legal documents and info might get mixed up).
What did Mattel's lawyers do? They went to court, of course. Read the outcome in AP via the Press-Enterprise.
