Why a restaurant would want to be associated with McDonald's in the first place is beyond me, but apparently the Kuala Lumpur-based restaurant formerly known as Restoran Penang Curry House, wants to call themselves McCurry.
Unfortunately, the McDonald's Corporation sued McCurry and won. A Malaysian court has ruled that McCurry will have to pay Ronald McDonald for damages. However, McCurry plans to appeal the court's ruling, arguing that "the prefix 'Mc'' was not exclusive to McDonald's and pointed to its use in surnames, including Scottish ones." Additionally, they insist that "its name is an abbreviation of local popular dish 'Malaysian Chicken Curry.'"
Hm. Don't they already know that McDonald's in India serves McCurry?! Besides, I would have gone with "In-n-Out Curry."

I guess that makes sense considering what eating curry does to some people.

as for a name change, how about MCC? sort of like KFC?
