Discuss intellectual property law (more specifically, trademark law) as it applies to McDonald’s litigation against the Malaysian restaurant “McCurry” and answer the following question:

Why or why not? Should McDonald’s have an exclusive right to the “Mc” prefix? Why or why not?
According to the web site http://www.mcdonalds.ca/en/aboutus/faq.aspx, McDonald’s is an enormous multinational corporation, operating over 31,000 restaurants in more than 119 countries on six (6) continents.
