The Copyright Dispute between Sony Music and Gymshark has been resolved.

Sony Music was recently persuaded to dismiss its claim against Gymshark. According to court records, Gymshark is a British fitness-apparel firm that allegedly misappropriated Sony Music tunes. The action was filed in federal court in Los Angeles. In a court filing, both corporations stated that they had amicably agreed to drop the current lawsuit with prejudice. This signifies that a lawsuit like this can never be filed again.

Attorney Rollin Ransom of Sidley Austin is representing Sony Music. On behalf of Sony Music, he announced that the present issue between the two parties had been peacefully resolved. He, on the other hand, decided to remain mute and avoid further disclosures. Last year, Sony Music sued Gymshark, alleging that the health and wellness company used hundreds of songs from some of the most successful artists, include but are not limited to Beyonce, Harry Styles, or Britney Spears, whose licenses were retained with Sony Music. The root of the matter is that Gymshark has used a number of songs without first obtaining permission from Sony Music.

Gymshark has been valued at over $1 billion in Solihull, a significant market town. Last year, Gymshark opened its first supply location in the United States. “Gymshark markets its products primarily through networks like TikTok as well as Instagram, or its alleged infringement within these social media advertising is clear, deliberate, and persistent,” according to the complaint.

“Gymshark has over 7 million engaged social media followers, or over 60 million if counting the influencer it recruits to advertise its products,” according to Sony Music.

Sony Music Entertainment v. Gymshark Ltd, U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, case no. 2:21-cv-05731, is the name of the case.
