As a practicingtrademark attorney, I can assure you that this is a correct ruling.

McDonalds owns the prefix Mc for food and related services.

It’s clear that these guys were making a play on McDonalds’ trademark,intending that customers make the association.

Idiot coffee shop ownershave been doing the same with Starbickd,and losing as they should.
