Gibson Sues DiMarzio over double cream

[scottosan]

Gibson could just call theirs Double Cream Pie and be done with all of the madness.

Then Pornhub would sue Gibson

dimarzio should only be allowed to sell double cream PUs, like all John Deeres are green with yellow rims...

Common colors should not be trademarked. Bobbin only came in 2 colors and it wasn’t unique to DiMarzio. It’s like trademarking silver colored screws

More like high priced Corporate Lawyers trying to bully another company. Seems to be going around.

I came up with a better one - Two Guy Creampie. That's the name. Don't any of you fuckers steal it

Who pitching and who’s catching?

Gibson currently sells cream 57 Classics and Dirty Fingers as Classic Double White.

Gibson has also started selling the Les Paul Standard Double Trouble with double cream burstbuckers. Can't buy the pickups new yet though.

@The~Kid and his Labubu. Don’t ask.

That’s a great point. They trademarked a color even though it’s not what they exclusively use.

It would be funny if the official judgement was that Dimarzio gets to enforce the trademark for as long as they never make another pickup in any other color, or else they immediately lose the trademark. I wonder how many hours that trademark would last.

John Deere green is not an over the counter color. Black and cream were the only options for bobbins long before DiMarzio. When people see double creams in a real late 50s Les Paul, you think PAFs not Dimarzios.

Fender has also been selling double cream pickups for years on Wolfgang guitars. They call it parchment, but it's cream and not a match for Fender's actual parchment color.

When Gibson made the Jimmy Page #2 model, they were not allowed to replicate the double cream PAF in Jimmy's actual guitar because of DiMarzio.

So should whomever invented the guitar pick in its most common form today, be suing every other company for making guitar picks?
