@Clever Name: There are different sorts of intellectual property (patent) protections. Typically, they are either design or utility. Utility means if something is really novel (like if you could invent a guitar that was invisible) - these are given considerable protection and should be since a lot of work has been put into novel science. The second is a design patent (like what Gibson tried to rely on). So, for example, if your guitar line came on in "dildo pink" Christmas tree shape. The company probably spent a lot of time and money to create this image. However, these are given very little protections now. Gibson lost for multiple reasons having to do with the limited protections given to design patents. All in all, the patent laws are quite fair.

The reasoning behind the model numbers is actually so customers can easily identify the higher-tiered models from each year, as the number (in your case, 112), is how many thousand JPY the guitar cost as a recommended retail price. For example, my E-LP-130CD/P (a '54 Les Paul Custom clone) retailed for 130,000 JPY.
