McDonald’s Vs. McCurry’s

The World

For eight years, McDonald’s has been fighting a restaurant in Malaysia called � McCurry. The American fast food giant tried to copyright the �mc� prefix. But Malaysia’s Federal Court said: NOT so fast. It ruled that other restaurants could use the Mc prefix so long as they served different food than McDonald’s.
