A FENDER NÃO TEM A PATENTE DA STRATO? ❌

Fender is attempting something that could change the guitar industry forever. In 2026, the company obtained a court ruling in Germany declaring the Stratocaster body design a copyrighted 'applied work of art'—and used this to send cease and desist letters to dozens of manufacturers worldwide, including PRS, LSL Instruments, Harley Benton, Suhr, and possibly many others. But there's a problem: the original Strat patent expired decades ago. In the 2000s, Fender already tried to trademark the design and lost. And Leo Fender himself never copyrighted the design—partly because the Stratocaster shape was created collectively, influenced by Paul Bigsby's guitars, 1950s automotive design, and classical stringed instruments. In this video, I analyze the entire timeline of the case, the legal arguments from each side, and what this could mean for the future of independent guitar manufacturers. _______________________________ 📰 Sources: 📌 Guitar.com — https://guitar.com/news/industry-news... 📌 Guitar World — https://www.guitarworld.com/gear/elec... 📌 Guitar World — https://www.guitarworld.com/gear/elec... 📌 Guitar World — https://www.guitarworld.com/gear/elec... 📌MusicRadar — https://www.musicradar.com/guitars/fe... 📌Guitar Player — https://www.guitarplayer.com/makers/f... 📌Gear Gods — https://geargods.net/news/major-escal... 📌Yamaha Musicians — 📌Fender's European Legal Campaign: What the Guitar Community Actually Needs to Know 📌Yamaha Musicians — https://yamahamusicians.com/fender-vs... 📌Yamaha Musicians — https://yamahamusicians.com/the-clari... 📌Bird & Bird (Fender's law firm) — https://www.twobirds.com/en/news-and-... 📌PRS Forum — https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads... 📌Wikipedia — G&L Musical Instruments — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%26L_M... _______________________________ 🇯🇵 JAPAN VIDEO MARATHON: 🇨🇳 CHINA VIDEO MARATHON:    • JAPÃO   🇨🇳 CHINA VIDEO MARATHON:    • CHINA   _______________________________ 🇨🇳 HELP ME GO TO CHINA! 🌏 🔗 Crowdfunding Link: https://www.vakinha.com.br/5948226 🗝️ Crowdfunding Pix: [email protected] ⏳ Let's go to China together in OCTOBER! 🙏 🚀 Any amount helps a lot! _______________________________ 🎟️ RAFFLES OPEN NOW!
