From what I’ve seen: It was victory by default, the defendants didn’t show up for the trial. So I doubt the ‘decision’ would hold much weight if they actually went to trial, especially against a PRS, etc. that’s been using the strat design for years.
I’ve always heard that the headstock was trademarked, never heard about the body design. In any case, it’s an attempt to go after the Chinese manufacturers that are undercutting them.
