My last name has an "L" in it. Can I sue McDonald's for use of the letter "L"?

Funny you bring up the letter "L." There was a similar case where Microsoft sued the linux operating system Lindows because it sounded too similar to Windows. The judge threw out the argument by microsoft claiming they have legal rights to the word windows (see webster's dictionary), but they did manage to force the company to change its name regardless.
They are now known as linspire if anyone was curious...So there goes to show you how ridiculous patents and trademarks can get
