Fender has secured what it’s calling a significant legal victory against a Chinese guitar manufacturer, announcing a ruling that it says will establish “broad legal protection for Fender’s iconic Stratocaster”.
In a press release, Fender announced it had won a court case in the Regional Court of Dusseldorf, which has created “enforceable rights against any guitars using the Stratocaster body shape that are manufactured, sold or distributed into Germany or other countries of the European Union – regardless of where those guitars are produced.”
