The companies are accusing the defendants of <a href="https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html">copyright infringement</a> for publicly playing music without proper licensing.</p> 355<p>The plaintiffs claim that A and R, Inc., which owns and operates <a href="https://www.restaurantji.com/in/mishawaka/r-bar-/">R Bar in South Bend, Indiana,</a> has played songs owned by the plaintiffs without authorization. Amy Gatchel is named in the suit as an individual responsible for managing and operating R Bar. According to the complaint, both the company and Gatchel had control over what music was played at the venue and financially benefited from those performances.</p> 356<p>The music in question is part of a large catalog managed by the <a href="https://www.ascap.com/">American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP)</a>, a group that licenses music on behalf of its members. ASCAP reportedly tried more than sixty times to contact the defendants through various means, offering them licenses to legally play the music. The complaint states that these offers were consistently refused, and the music continued to be played without permission.</p> 357<div class="read_more_link"><a href="https://www.iniplaw.org/r-bars-unauthorized-playlist-sparks-30k-per-song-copyright-lawsuit/" title="Continue Reading R Barâs Unauthorized Playlist Sparks $30K-Per-Song Copyright Lawsuit" class="more-link">Continue reading</a></div> 358 </div> 359 </div> 360 <footer> 361 <div class="author vcard">By <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope><a href="https://www.overhauser.com/" class="url fn author-overhauser-1 author-644 post-author-link" rel="author" target="_blank" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="name">Overhauser Law Offices, LLC</span></a><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="https://twitter.com/OverhauserLaw" /><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="https://www.facebook.com/Overhauser-133171743405518/" /></span></div> <div itemprop="publisher" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope> 362 <meta itemprop="name" content="Overhauser Law Offices, LLC" /> 363 364<div itemprop="logo" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemscope> 365 <link itemprop="url" href="https://www.iniplaw.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/366/2016/10/OverhauserLawOffices-GoogleImage.jpeg" /> 366 <meta itemprop="height" content="60" /> 367 <meta itemprop="width" content="73" /> 368 <meta itemprop="representativeOfPage" content="http://schema.org/True" /> 369</div> 370 </div> 371 372 <div class="category-list"><span class="category-list-label">Posted in:</span> <span class="category-list-items"><a href="https://www.iniplaw.org/category/https-www-iniplaw-org-copyrights/" title="View all posts in Copyright Infringement" class="category-https-www-iniplaw-org-copyrights term-9 post-category-link">Copyright Infringement</a> and <a href="https://www.iniplaw.org/category/innd-news/" title="View all posts in INND News" class="category-innd-news term-51 post-category-link">INND News</a></span></div> 373 <div class="published-date"><span class="published-date-label"></span> <time datetime="2025-07-25T08:00:28-05:00" class="post-date published" itemprop="datePublished" pubdate>July 25, 2025</time></div> <div class="visuallyhidden">Updated: 374 <time datetime="2025-07-21T14:00:31-05:00" class="updated" itemprop="dateModified">July 21, 2025 2:00 pm</time> 375 </div> 376 377 378 379 380 381 </footer> 382 383 </div> 384</article> 385 386 387<article id="post-8048" class="entry post-8048 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-innd-news category-trademark-infringement" itemprop="blogPost" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting" itemscope> 388 <link itemprop="mainEntityOfPage" href="https://www.iniplaw.org/rock-and-troll-led-zeppelin-takes-on-online-sellers-in-trademark-infringement-suit/" /> 389 <div class="inner-wrapper"> 390 <header> 391 392 393 394 395 <div class="published-date"><span class="published-date-label"></span> <time datetime="2025-07-14T08:00:52-05:00" class="post-date published" itemprop="datePublished" pubdate>July 14, 2025</time></div> 396 397 398 <h2 class="entry-title" itemprop="name"> <a href="https://www.iniplaw.org/rock-and-troll-led-zeppelin-takes-on-online-sellers-in-trademark-infringement-suit/" itemprop="url" title="Permalink to Rock and Troll: Led Zeppelin Takes on Online Sellers in Trademark Infringement Suit" rel="bookmark">Rock and Troll: Led Zeppelin Takes on Online Sellers in Trademark Infringement Suit</a> 399 </h2> 400 <meta itemprop="headline" content="Rock and Troll: Led Zeppelin Takes on Online Sellers in Trademark Infringement Suit" /> 401 402 403 <div class="author vcard">By <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope><a href="https://www.overhauser.com/" class="url fn author-overhauser-1 author-644 post-author-link" rel="author" target="_blank" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="name">Overhauser Law Offices, LLC</span></a><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="https://twitter.com/OverhauserLaw" /><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="https://www.facebook.com/Overhauser-133171743405518/" /></span></div> 404 405 <div class="sharelinks sharelinks-8048 sharelinks-horizontal" id="sharelinks-8048"> 406 <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iniplaw.org%2F%3Fp%3D8048&text=Rock+and+Troll%3A+Led+Zeppelin+Takes+on+Online+Sellers+in+Trademark+Infringement+Suit&related=OverhauserLaw%3APost+Author" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href, '', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="https://www.iniplaw.org/wp-content/themes/Willow-Responsive/images/sh

If a Magistrate Judge is assigned, parties will receive a notice after the initial scheduling order and have 21 days to consent to the Magistrate Judge handling the entire case, including trial. If all parties consent, the Magistrate Judge will oversee all proceedings. If any party declines, the case goes to a District Judge, with the Magistrate Judge assisting with pretrial matters.</p> 473<p>The court highlights Magistrate Judges as vital to timely and efficient case resolution. Because they donât have to prioritize criminal cases, they can often move civil cases faster, saving time and cost.</p> 474<div class="read_more_link"><a href="https://www.iniplaw.org/8038-2/" title="Continue Reading Northern District of Indiana to Begin Directly Assigning Magistrate Judges to New Cases" class="more-link">Continue reading</a></div> 475 </div> 476 </div> 477 <footer> 478 <div class="author vcard">By <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope><a href="https://www.overhauser.com/" class="url fn author-overhauser-1 author-644 post-author-link" rel="author" target="_blank" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="name">Overhauser Law Offices, LLC</span></a><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="https://twitter.com/OverhauserLaw" /><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="https://www.facebook.com/Overhauser-133171743405518/" /></span></div> <div itemprop="publisher" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope> 479 <meta itemprop="name" content="Overhauser Law Offices, LLC" /> 480 481<div itemprop="logo" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemscope> 482 <link itemprop="url" href="https://www.iniplaw.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/366/2016/10/OverhauserLawOffices-GoogleImage.jpeg" /> 483 <meta itemprop="height" content="60" /> 484 <meta itemprop="width" content="73" /> 485 <meta itemprop="representativeOfPage" content="http://schema.org/True" /> 486</div> 487 </div> 488 489 <div class="category-list"><span class="category-list-label">Posted in:</span> <span class="category-list-items"><a href="https://www.iniplaw.org/category/civil-procedure/" title="View all posts in Civil Procedure" class="category-civil-procedure term-15 post-category-link">Civil Procedure</a>, <a href="https://www.iniplaw.org/category/innd-news/" title="View all posts in INND News" class="category-innd-news term-51 post-category-link">INND News</a> and <a href="https://www.iniplaw.org/category/litigation/" title="View all posts in Litigation" class="category-litigation term-63 post-category-link">Litigation</a></span></div> 490 <div class="published-date"><span class="published-date-label"></span> <time datetime="2025-07-07T08:00:46-05:00" class="post-date published" itemprop="datePublished" pubdate>July 7, 2025</time></div> <div class="visuallyhidden">Updated: 491 <time datetime="2025-06-30T15:31:00-05:00" class="updated" itemprop="dateModified">June 30, 2025 3:31 pm</time> 492 </div> 493 494 495 496 497 498 </footer> 499 500 </div> 501</article> 502 503 504<article id="post-8029" class="entry post-8029 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-innd-news category-patent-infringement" itemprop="blogPost" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting" itemscope> 505 <link itemprop="mainEntityOfPage" href="https://www.iniplaw.org/field-tested-patent-contested-precision-planter-solutions-v-solid-rock-ag-solutions/" /> 506 <div class="inner-wrapper"> 507 <header> 508 509 510 511 512 <div class="published-date"><span class="published-date-label"></span> <time datetime="2025-06-30T08:00:19-05:00" class="post-date published" itemprop="datePublished" pubdate>June 30, 2025</time></div> 513 514 515 <h2 class="entry-title" itemprop="name"> <a href="https://www.iniplaw.org/field-tested-patent-contested-precision-planter-solutions-v-solid-rock-ag-solutions/" itemprop="url" title="Permalink to Field Tested, Patent Contested: Precision Planter Solutions v.
