The Mc"Clans" are In Danger

[Phil]

As MOR says, large corporations guard their brand identities jealously. I recall a thread a while back about a Canadian whisky/whiskey? firm using the word Glen in their product which was an obvious attempt to pass it off as Scottish and the Scotch whisky people's litigation to prevent it. I still find it difficult to accept that any company can obtain the exclusive rights to what is, in effect, an individual's name just as others tried to patent genomes. That they can, however, is a matter for governments to legislate for and a matter to raise with your particular political representative.

I also agree with MoR, however as a side bar you should check your facts on the bolded piece.
