A small curry restaurant in Malaysia has won the final bout in an eight-year trademark battle against the world's largest fast-food giant/bully, McDonald's.

The restaurant, McCurry, short for "Malaysian Chicken Curry," and was the first Indian fast food restaurant to open in 1999 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia -- serving dishes such as chicken curry, fish head curry, naan and biryani.

McDonald's wanted sole rights to the use of the prefix "Mc". They obviously haven't been to Scotland.

McDonald's first sued McCurry in 2001. Five years later, a High Court ruled in favor of the corporation. McCurry responded by bringing the trademark suit to the Court of Appeal where in April the Malaysian restaurant won the case. McDonald's then went to Malaysia's highest court -- the Federal Court -- and guess who won?

To rub more curry powder in McDonald's face, they were also ordered to pay legal costs for the eight-year suit. Source Slashfood.
