  • Info-Flash Mcdonald's Wins 'Mac/Mc'
    INFO-FLASH MCDONALD’S WINS ‘MAC/MC’ TRADEMARK CASE Everyone knows the famous golden arches of McDonald’s. Just like ‘Coca-Cola’ or ‘Google’, this sign is part of everyone’s life. But what about the word elements 'Mc' or 'Mac', used in combination with the name of a menu item or a foodstuff in 'McFLURRY’, ‘McTOAST’, ‘McMUFFIN’ and ‘McCHICKEN’, to name a few? Early July, the General Court of the CJEU had to decide (T-518/13) whether the use of the MacCoffee trademark unfairly took advantage of the reputed McDonald’s trademark. More generally, this case concerns the battle between trademark holders and so-called free-riders who might benefit from the power of attraction, reputation, and prestige of other trademarks. McDonald’s is the owner of several word trademarks such as ‘BIG MAC’, ‘McFISH’, ‘PITAMAC’, ‘McNUGGETS’, ‘McFLURRY’ and, of course, the well-known trademark ‘McDONALD’s’. These trademarks enjoy a considerable reputation for fast-food restaurant services. The Singapore-based company Future Enterprises applied for registration of ‘MacCoffee’ products and an EU trademark for foodstuffs and beverages (in respect of Nice classes 29, 30 and 32) and obtained it in 2010. Two years later, the EUIPO Cancellation Division declared the contested ‘MacCoffee’ trademark to be invalid in its entirety (pursuant to Article 53(1)(a) read in conjunction with Article 8(5) of Regulation No 207/2009). The EUIPO First Board of Appeal upheld the cancellation decision, at which point Future Enterprises appealed to the General Court. On July 5, 2016, the General Court confirmed the Board’s cancellation decision, stating that: “the combination of the element ‘Mac’ with the name of a drink in the MacCoffee trademark, causes the relevant public to associate this trademark with the McDonald’s ‘Mc’ family of trademarks” (§30-31).

  • United States of America Before the National Labor Relations Board Administrative Law Judge Lauren Esposito
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE LAUREN ESPOSITO McDONALD’S USA, LLC Cases 02-CA-093893, et al. 04-CA-125567, et al. and 13-CA-106490, et al. 20-CA-132103, et al. FAST FOOD WORKERS COMMITTEE AND 25-CA-114819, et al. SERVICE EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL 31-CA-127447, et al. UNION, CTW, CLC, et al. REPLY IN SUPPORT OF GENERAL COUNSEL’S MOTION FOR AN ORDER COMPELLING MCDONALD’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE PARTIES’ PROTECTIVE ORDER Counsel for the General Counsel (“General Counsel”) submits this reply in support of his motion for an order compelling McDonald’s USA, LLC (“McDonald’s”) to comply with the Protective Order entered in this matter April 9, 2015 and modified upon consent of the parties April 27, 2015 (“Order”). McDonald’s opposition brief fails to come to grips with the arguments advanced in the General Counsel’s initial filing, mischaracterizes or misapprehends the arguments made by the General Counsel,1 and attempts to distract the Court with irrelevancies.2 1 In particular, McDonald’s erroneously claims that the legal positions taken by the General Counsel in two other disputes are inconsistent with its current motion contesting McDonald’s “confidential” designations under the Protective Order : first, the General Counsel argued in a subpoena enforcement proceeding that McDonald’s was not entitled to redact subpoenaed documents at the time of production given that the Protective Order by its terms shields McDonald’s documents that qualify as “confidential”; and, second, the General Counsel argued that for purposes of admitting documents into evidence at trial (whether “sealed” or “unsealed” under the Order), McDonald’s cannot plausibly refuse to acknowledge the authenticity of those documents it has produced under subpoena and designated as “confidential”.
