Supermac’s seeks time in trademark action

Supermac’s boss, Pat McDonagh has sought extra time in his battle with McDonald’s over using the Supermac’s name across the EU.

Mr McDonagh was due to file his detailed response by next Tuesday to McDonald’s 41-page objection to the Supermac’s name being used in the UK and continental Europe, in the international trademark war between the two fast food firms.

In response to the request — made by Cruickshank Intellectual Property Attorneys, on behalf of Supermac’s —for more time, the EU Commission’s Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market has extended the time for its submission to June 28 next.
