US Copyright Office Allows Repair of McDonald's McFlurry Machines and Medical Devices
Oct 26, 2024, 09:31 PM
The US Copyright Office has implemented a new federal rule allowing the repair of McDonald's McFlurry machines and medical devices. This decision, often referred to as 'freeing the McFlurry,' removes previous restrictions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that prevented unauthorized repairs. The change is expected to enable McDonald's restaurants to fix their notoriously unreliable ice cream machines more quickly, improving customer satisfaction. Consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge has praised the decision, highlighting its potential to reduce repair costs and downtime for businesses.
