Gibson Wins Definitive Ruling Today on Its Iconic Guitar Shapes and Trademarks

Gibson Flying V

NASHVILLE, TN, Today, the Federal court decided by jury, once again, to uphold Gibson--the iconic global instrument brand’s long-established and well-recognized trademarks of its innovative and iconic Flying V, Explorer, and SG guitar shapes, finding that these trademarks are valid, and not generic, and the defendants were guilty of both infringement and counterfeiting.

Gibson has secured another major legal victory in its ongoing commitment to protecting its iconic designs. In the retrial of Gibson v. Armadillo Enterprises (Dean Guitars), a Texas federal jury has once again upheld Gibson’s exclusive rights to its legendary guitar shapes and trademarks, in recognition of the harm caused by Dean’s infringement.

The jury’s decision reinforces the validity and strength of Gibson’s intellectual property rights, confirming that its guitar shapes, including the Flying V, Explorer, and SG, remain protected trademarks.

Gibson is turning its focus to the future, continuing to invest in innovation, craftsmanship, and the next generation of groundbreaking guitars.
