Wonder charges dismissed in copyright suit over I Just Called To Say I Love You
A federal judge largely dismissed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Stevie Wonder over his song I Just Called To Say I Love You. The case, filed in 1985, claimed Wonder lifted material from Hello, It’s Me by Lee Garrett and Lloyd Chiate, but Garrett's declaration supported Wonder’s independent creation by July 1976. The judge left intact a single claim that Wonder violated the federal trademark act by not acknowledging Chiate. The ruling was announced on August 8 by Wonder’s counsel.
