PRS and Gibson were fighting?

[STRHelvete]

I knew nothing about this. Gibson seems to always be in court whether it's defendant or plaintiff side

“Our decision not to fight an expensive battle does not mean that the McCarty family appreciates Gibson’s conduct”: PRS and Ted McCarty family drop “Theodore” trademark dispute

PRS Guitar has announced the withdrawal of its objection to Gibson’s registration of the “Theodore” trademark.

Gibson gunna Gibson I guess.
Reading the article though it sounds like this worked out the way it probably should have.

I don't understand PRS stance here. Ted's estate could sue if they didn't sign off on his name being used in such a matter, but nobody is confusing a McCarty and that Teisco ass looking thing. I love Gibson, but there are ~300 of those guitars out in the wild and were doing no damage to PRS' brand image.

I care more about the age of the strings on my guitars than I do this story. And I dont know when I restrung them.

Holy shit, that Gibson looks uglier every time I see it...

I should sue Gibson for emotional damages due to how awful that guitar looked.
