There has been a plagiarism about the trademark of J.CO and all its menus by a malaysian-born Big Apple Donuts & Coffee. The Big Apple were created in 2nd May 2007, and are 99% similar to J.CO in terms of products & its packaging.
The Malaysian-creator of Big Apple Donuts & Coffee are believed to have stayed in New York (the city are widely known as "Big Apple") and heard of the success story of J.CO Donuts & Coffee from Indonesia. It copies the New York trademark and the Indonesian brand all in once!
This kind of problem often occurs, as Malaysian are best known as a very good plagiarist, especially when it comes to Indonesian products & cultures.
