Al Jazeera left me curious on who between the fast-food giant McDonald's versus Malaysian restaurant McCurry would win. McDonald's lost an eight-year legal battle to prevent a McCurry from using the "Mc" prefix, as it infringed its trademark. McCurry opened for business in Kuala Lumpur in 1999, and serves Indian dishes, including fish head curry and breads including tandoori naan(already salivating).
I found the ruling fair! There was no evidence to show McCurry was trying to pass itself off as part of the McDonald's empire. The logo (two thumbs up chicken) was creatively done, far better than McDonalds. Who on earth would patent "Mc" , I think this goes to far. To my usual ranting, if it were back home the multi national would definitely have won.
