Gibson and Heritage agree to end trademark and antitrust legal battle (https://guitar.com/news/industry-news/gibson-heritage-legal-battle-over-settlement-dismissal-trademark-antitrust/)
Play authentic. :rolleyes:
Dean must now pay over $150,000 of Gibson's legal costs (https://guitar.com/news/industry-news/dean-armadillo-must-pay-160000-gibon-legal-costs/)
That can only be a pittance of their actual legal costs, but cost retrieval obviously wasn't the point.
Will Dean now stop making Flying Vs or pay (compulsory?) license fees?

That remains to be seen. My guess is that they'll stop.
Saw this at MLP with the comment "I mean whenever I see a Dean, I can't help but wonder isn't that a Gibson?????" :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
