Fenders normally cost much less than Gibsons and are still quality Guitars. Their body shapes are optimised so people can play them easily. However, Stratocasters are so common they're an eyesore for some. Gibsons are also quite varied and have loads of different combinations of pickups, woods, body styles etc. Basically, if you're getting your first guitar, get a Fender or Squier (subsidiary of Fender that make cheaper Fenders), but if you really want Gibson at a lower price, Epiphone (subsidiary of Gibson) make cheaper versions of Gibsons. While some are, admittedly, badly made, some, like their Les Paul Standard, are just as popular as Gibsons and cost thousands of dollars less. Do some research and NEVER BUY STRAIGHT FROM THEIR SITE - local dealers often have them cheaper. But make sure they're in good condition.

Do guitar makers such as Gibson and Fender still have patent protection on their Les Paul and Strat designs meaning that all of the cheap knockoffs pay royalties?

Yes and No. They do have it on the name and likeness and that's about it. That's why there are so many very similar guitars that look almost exactly alike. Look into the Ibanez guitars that Gibson sued over in the 1970s to get a better idea of the precedent.
