Has Mickey D’s contracted the Dominic’s lawsuit virus?
There must be something terribly contagious about this trademark-infringement virus.
The fast-food giant McDonald’s is embroiled in a couple of trademark-infringement lawsuits that have made the news in recent days.
First, McDonald’s is the defendant in a new lawsuit filed by a family-owned Minnesota restaurant, according to this Nation’s Restaurant News story. The Lion’s Tap has filed a complaint U.S. District Court in St. Paul against McDonald’s alleging trademark infringement, statutory unfair competition, false designation of origin and unjust enrichment, according to NRN.
McDonald’s is the plaintiff, not the defendant, in another case involving the Malaysian restaurant McCurry, which serves Indian food — and this time, it appears to have lost an eight-year legal battle, according to this Associated Press story carried by Forbes.com.

Lasagna, anyone?
