McCurry Too Spicey For McDonald’s
By KLews on Wednesday, September 9, 2009
In a classic example of “David versus Goliath”, McCurry – a small food business company triumphs in identity rights against global fast food giant McDonald’s over the use of the ‘Mc’ trademark. The Wall Street Journal and The New Straits Times managed to highlight this “underdog” victory.
After spending eight years, and in his own words, “a substantial sum”, A.M.S.P. Suppiah and wife Kanageswary, were relieved when met at their modest Indian eatery. Kanageswary said the word, ‘McCurry’, was culled from Malaysian chicken curry, one of the specialities of the restaurant that employs 18 workers.
The publicity from the case has also earned the qualified accountant enquiries from abroad to franchise the McCurry name. Suppiah, 55, was interviewed by Al-Jazeera TV, Reuters and other international news services and television channels. He started McCurry in 1999, but never thought that the day would come when he would be confronted by Mcdonald’s in court.
Since April, when the Court of Appeal ruled that McDonald’s did not have a monopoly over the ‘Mc’ prefix, offers came from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Britain, United States and Australia to use the ‘McCurry’ trademark and for joint ventures of corporate identity.
