Fender gegen S-Style-Gitarren: Schutz der Stratocaster oder historisches Eigentor?

Fender has won a court ruling in Germany protecting the Stratocaster body shape. The case originated with a Chinese AliExpress seller offering nearly identical Stratocaster copies. However, several sources now report that Fender, or rather the law firm Bird & Bird, is using this ruling to take action against S-style manufacturers and retailers as well. 00:00 Intro & Welcome 01:53 Leo Fender's Historical Achievement: Problem Solver Instead of Virtuoso 02:50 The 1950s Revolution: From the Telecaster to the Stratocaster in 1954 04:57 Who Owns Guitar Culture?

Important: This isn't about defending counterfeits, fake logos, or misleading headstocks. Fender can and should fight genuine plagiarism. The crucial question is different: Can a body shape that has been part of the fundamental language of the electric guitar for 70 years be retrospectively used so broadly against S-style guitars that creative manufacturers, retailers, and musicians are put under pressure?
