We just received the call from our law firm and... We won!!!
The Strat, Tele, P-Bass and J-Bass body shapes are generic, in public domain and free for anyone to use. This is a historical Federal citable case and we'd like to thank and congratulate all in the consortium of opposers to Fender's trademark application. These companies include Anderson, Schecter, Warmoth, ESP, First Act, Peavey and another dozen or so.
The sky is all clear and sunny now. This whole thing had been like a dark cloud hanging over our heads and now the cloud is dispersed for good. Man, I'd just love to walk through the offices of Fender HQ and see the look on the faces of the execs there who thought they were going to get away with this. They got totally pwned in this case and I can't help but gloat about this decision.
