And now #Fender has sued the EU's largest music retailer #Thomann for copyright in German courts. The "copyright protection" aspect is a partial error; a German court overstepped and issued an opinion about #Stratocaster copyright after a no-show from a Chinese company. Thomann makes #HarleyBenton guitars as well as representing both Fender and most of its competitors, including #Yamaha . https://www.reuters.com/legal/legalindustry/fender-sues-german-retailer-thomann-copyright-dispute-over-stratocaster-2026-07-16/ #music #FenderLawsuit
