Curry in Favour
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009
I love this story, and not just because it was a victory for the underdog against a notoriously litigious global corporation.
I love the fact that the owners won after claiming that the ‘Mc’ prefix of their name stood for ‘Malaysian Chicken’, despite the letter ‘c’ being lower case, and despite the fact that the typeface of the McCurry logo manages to resemble not just one but two famous high street logos.
Breaking news: I hear another well-known fast food chain has lost its lawsuit against an Israeli branch of Bagel King, which is famous for its Whopping bagel.
Actually, that’s not true, but wouldn’t it be great if it was?
