McDonald's wins "McCurry" war in Malaysia

        U.S. burger chain McDonald's Corp has won a five-year legal battle against a tiny Malaysian eatery called "McCurry," persuading a judge that passers-by might confuse it with the fast-food giant.  "The defendant's use of the word McCurry and employing signage featuring colors distinctive of the plaintiff's was indulging in acts that could rise to confusion and deception," the judge was quoted as saying in local media Friday.  In Thursday's ruling, the court ordered the curry house to drop the "Mc" from their signage.

马来西亚两“麦”相争，麦当劳获胜

        美国汉堡连锁公司“麦当劳”打赢了一场为期五年的官司，败诉方是马来西亚的一家名叫“麦咖喱”的小吃店。麦当劳用来说服法官的理由是，过路人有可能将“麦咖喱”与麦当劳相混淆并误以为是后者。上周五当地媒体援引法官的话说：“被告用麦咖喱这样的词语并且使用原告所特有的招牌颜色作为自己的标识系统，这种随便行为可能产生混乱和欺诈。”在上周四的裁决中，法庭命令这家咖喱屋将他们招牌上的字母-m-c省略掉。
