Stock News: Food Empire unit loses trademark battle vs McDonald's

Food Empire Holding Ltd's unit Future Enterprises has lost its battle with McDonald's Corp after the High Court dismissed its petition to allow its MacCoffee brand to be registered in Singapore as a trademark, the Business Times reported, citing court documents. The dispute over MacCoffee arose when McDonald's objected to Future Enterprises' attempt to update the brand's mark, saying it was too similar to its McCafe. The newspaper reported that Future Enterprises has lodged an appeal against the High Court's decision and the case will heard by the court of appeal in February next year. The court's verdict will only affect the company's use of the MacCoffee trademark in Singapore, according to the report.
