G vs C

This would prove to be tedious on our part - Gibson is opposing Collings over their headstock trademark registration. According to Gibson, if the court allows Collings to to do so, these would be the likely damages (quoting from source): 

1. as to be likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive with respect to the source or origin
2. would be likely to impair the distinctiveness, and cause dilution by blurring

From the looks of things, it reeks insecurity all over. The discourse here is to make believe the design infringement based on common understanding; the headstock outlines look similar. The discerning players among us & those who are simply more acquainted to guitar designs would know that the differences are rather obvious. We note that this opposition is happening in the midst of Collings making an effort to register its design. So registration is the issue, yes? One entity out there is telling another that, hey, you can't own your own design. That's deep.
