nsane.forums Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 The American fast-food giant McDonald's has lost an eight-year legal battle to prevent a Malaysian restaurant calling itself McCurry.McDonald's argued that the use of the "Mc" prefix infringed its trademark. But the Federal Court in Kuala Lumpur ruled that there was no evidence to show McCurry was trying to pass itself off as part of the McDonald's empire. The owner of McCurry insists its "Mc" prefix is an abbreviation for Malaysian Chicken Curry. View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted September 10, 2009 Administrator Share Posted September 10, 2009 Well you are right manpe but people usually tend to misunderstand many things. They can also think that McCurry is the part of McDonald's. They have no right to stop anyone from usin "Mc", but I think they didn't wanted people to take disadvantages by usin it.
