The Eagles have settled a trademark suit with the owner of Mexico's Hotel California Baja. Under the agreement the lodge's current owners will not try and trademark the brand for hotels in the U.S.
Located about 50 miles from Cabo San Lucas (and 1,000 miles south of San Diego), Hotel California Baja was accused of creating a false Eagles connection by playing the band's music throughout the resort. The band was also troubled by the hotel selling T-shirts, kitchen magnets and other souvenirs bearing the Hotel California name.
Neither the hotel nor its lawyer immediately responded to requests for comment. (Reuters)
