McDonald’s loses trademark battle to McCurry
KUALA LUMPUR: The world’s most famous fast food chain McDonald’s has lost an eight-year legal battle to prevent a local Malaysian Indian restaurant McCurry from using the ‘Mc’ trademark in its name, with the country’s highest court dismissing its plea.
Malaysia’s Federal Court, which ruled against McDonald’s application also ordered the American food chain to pay RM 10,000 (Rs. 130,000) cost to McCurry Restaurant (KL) Sdn Bhd.
“Our view is that the questions posed by McDonald’s were not properly framed and the court should dismiss the leave application,” Chief Judge of Malaya Arifin Zakaria said.
McDonald’s filed a leave application in the apex court to challenge the Court of Appeal’s April 29 ruling which said it was wrong to assume that McDonald’s had a monopoly on the use of the prefix ‘Mc’. — PTI
