No, because it would be within the same industry thus devaluing the name of the original McDonald's. In this case, a trademark is being enforced from one industry to another where the trademark would not confuse consumers (Well, they're not going to go into the pub to read the books are they? It's not a themed bar). Also, given the fact that they have not taken action for 20 or so years could call for trademark dilution. I really hope this becomes a David and Goliath case.

Comment Re:Reall, Britain? (Score 1) 387

I can't say about the poll tax riots (because frankly, I don't have the energy to look them up), but the students fees are about immature people rioting over being forced to be more financially responsible for themselves instead of forcing others to pay their bills, and the war has nothing to do with people's right - so I'm really not sure what your point was. Maybe your point was that they love to riot, just not over things that actually relate to a tyrannical government that constantly takes away more and more freedom?

And yet Scottish students still get free university education, at the British taxpayers' expense of course.

If you get really bad withdrawal symptoms (which in the case of heroin could potentially kill you), taking the vaccine means that you can't even have a little bit to alleviate the symptoms and cut down. I would also assume that it affects methadone too which, again, means suffering from withdrawal.
