Now that the courts have ruled against Fender's application to trademark the Jazz and Precision body shapes, how long do they have before the ads in Bass Player (the ones that state that the body shapes are trademarks of FMIC in the fine print) are considered false advertising?

The Jazz body shape wasn't part of that court case, just the P, Strat, and Tele.

OK, so when is the false advertising on the ads for P, Strat, and Tele-shaped instruments going to stop?
