Gibson Wins Trademark Suit Against PRS

Oh man, what a pile of BS. *now I'm pissed!*
It took me about 30 seconds to realize HC is full of crap.
Gibson cannot sue anyone over a design that is from 50+ years ago AND involved a guy out of the company... The point is... who benefits from that?
I'm open to suggestions.

I think the whole thing is bullshit imo as long as you dont copy the exact guitar companies should tolerate similarities. By saying that ı dont know how similar the prs and gibson model is though

Yes, they can. The Les Paul model Gibson guitar is a trademarked design and Gibson's best known electric guitar, specifically designed for Les Paul. The design is too obviously ripped off from the Gibson model (arched, maple top; same electrical configuration). If PRS is selling their guitar for less than what a Les Paul would sell for, it potentially could cause an undercutting of Gibson's product marketability. This is for the benefit of Gibson.

Interesting...PRS typically sell for much more than a Gibson. So wtf? I don't think that PRS has robbed any sales from Gibson on the "better buy" factor.
If people choose PRS over Gibson it's because they just like PRS better. I personally find PRS to be superior to Gibson...damn the style of the guitar itself. PRS just makes better guitars.
However, both are way overpriced.
Get a Carvin and have a guitar better than any Gibson or PRS for 1/3 the price.
Let the big guns sue each other all the want. They obviously care more about making money than making the best guitar.
