One of the "extras" on the Pufnstuf dvd set is an interview in which the Krofft bros. discuss their lawsuit against McDonalds "back in the day." I was too young to remember it, but I think there actually was some idea stealing going on. A judge thought so too.

The short version of the story can be found here.

The complete trial release can be found here. (Interesting that it would be online!)

You be the judge...
