The Supreme Court of Canada will hear the case of Barbie the doll vs. Barbie the BBQ restaurant, the justices ruled Thursday.

Mattel contends this confuses people. But the restaurant owner says the Australian slang makes people think of barbecue -- as in, 'throw some chicken on the barbie' -- not dolls.
