In a recent matter one of our clients, Eventide Inc., was sued in the District of New Jersey for posting a photograph of Eddie Van Halen playing his classic guitar. Eventide’s owners are both Grammy award winners for their lifelong contributions to the recording field. Eventide invented the Harmonizer, and influenced iconic sounds for recording artists such as AC/DC, David Bowie, and Eddie Van Halen. When Eddie died, Eventide posted a picture of Eddie on Facebook, noting Eventide’s pride in helping Eddie create his signature guitar sounds. Given Lerner David’s extensive knowledge of copyright, royalty structure, and fair use, Lerner David negotiated a favorable settlement that allowed the Copyright case to be resolved prior to significant legal expense. Coincidentally, Eventide’s post about Eddie noted that Eddie had a patent on a way of holding the guitar in his famous horizontal playing position. Guess who wrote that patent for Eddie? …. Lerner David of course! Check it out. U.S. Patent No. 4,656,917. Lawrence Marano v. Eventide Inc., Civ. Action No. 2:25-cv-14981-EP (D.N.J.)
