Fast-food customers have long voiced frustration with McDonald’s ice cream machines. They are out of commission so frequently that there's even a website dedicated to tracking locations that are able to serve you a McFlurry at any given time. Now, the government has stepped in to fix the issue.
Now that the exemption has been granted, McDonald’s operators will be able to break through those locks and hire third parties to fix their machines without having to rely on Taylor. The new rule will officially take effect on Oct. 28, and will hopefully result in faster, more affordable fixes for the ice cream equipment.
While the U.S. Copyright Office did not grant the full range of exemptions the organizations had requested for commercial and industrial equipment, Public Knowledge still celebrated the exemption for food preparation equipment.
