Fast-food heavyweight McDonald's has lost a battle over trademarks in Malaysia.
McCurry is a popular Malaysian restaurant.
Its name is short for "Malaysian Chicken Curry" and the eatery serves Malaysian and Indian dishes.
For eight years McDonald's has tried to get the restaurant to drop the 'Mc' in its name.
However a Federal Court has dismissed McDonald's suit.
This ends a long battle which has left McCurry co-owner P. Suppiah relieved.
Chief Justice Ariffin Zakaria said that McDonald's had failed to properly frame its questions when applying to challenge an earlier Appeals Court decision.
The McCurry owners say that they would like to get back to work focusing on business expansion and bringing more McCurries into the market.
Suppiah's lawyer said there are essentially no similarities between McCurry and McDonald's.
One McCurry customer agreed saying the two styles of food are quite different.
McDonald's has 185 outlets in Malaysia and filed its first lawsuit against McCurry back in 2001.
McDonald's Malaysia is run as a franchise by prominent businessman Vincent Tan.
Crowds are lining up to take a look at a wall that once divided East from West in a small German town.
Though the Berlin Wall is world-renowned as a symbol of the division of Germany during the Cold War 300 kilometers south of Berlin there is a small village nicknamed "Little Berlin."
Moedlareuth has just 50 residents but for 38 years it was divided in half.
In 1989 the village was reunited but a 100-meter-long section of the wall that once seperated the town still stands today as part of an open-air museum.
Old border posts watch towers and barbed wire fences still dot the landscape.
In 1952 Moedlareuth was split in two as communist East Germany began to erect barriers to separate itself from the West.
Nowadays walls such as this one are tourist attractions.
More than 60‚000 visitors dropped by Moedlareuth in 2008 and the museum expects the crowds to remain large as the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall approaches.
In Indonesia one retired fisherman is spending more time on the shore these days playing with black sand.
The 65-year-old painter uses sand to paint portraits of beach scenes‚ flowers and Quranic calligraphy.
He's the only artist in his sleepy fishing village which is located 150 kilometers south of Jakarta and is well known for his unique artistic approach.
Three years ago he retired from the strenuous life of a fisherman and while taking a stroll on the beach was inspired to create works of art from a special kind of sand.
To collect the black iron sand that he uses in his art he employs a strong magnet.
Then he applies glue to a canvas in the shape of the pattern he would like to create.
He's even experimented with dyes using different shades of sand in his palette.
However he says it's still a struggle to make a living since he has no place to sell his art nor sufficient funds to create them fulltime.
His sand paintings are now done on a commission basis only.
It takes a minimum of five days to complete one canvas.
They cost 50‚000 rupiah or roughly five US dollars.
