  • Bagdasarian Productions has been involved in numerous lawsuits, a few are located below: Bagdasarian Productions sued for a payment of $100 million as a result of a breach-of-contract. It was alleged that Universal failed to "fulfill its promise to put The Chipmunks in motion pictures, videos and theme parks and on television." Additionally, Bagdasarian Productions claimed that the entertainment company never intended to honor the agreement to actively promote the characters as the company was secretly planning to dismantle its family entertainment and animation arms. Bagdasarian Productions won their suit and regained control of the Alvin and the Chipmunks characters in 2002. 2008, 2010 - Bagdasarian Productions, LLC v. Capitol Records, INC (Case #BC384048 & #B217960) Bagdasarian Productions sued Capitol Records for the use of Alvin and the Chipmunks' music without the permission of the production company. The licensing agreement, which gave the record company the right to manufacture and distribute songs, was signed in 1968, four years before Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. passed away, and was not seen again until 2007. Bagdasarian Productions claimed that the recording company had been making money on pre-1972 songs sung by The Chipmunks' outside of the music industry in films, television, and other ventures in violation of specific contractual language. Though Capitol Records initially won the case, the decision was reverted in 2010 when Bagdasarian Productions appealed. The appellate court held that the productions company has the exclusive right to publicly perform the recordings in question. 2011 - Bagdasarian Productions, LLC v. Capitol Records, INC (Case #BC473804) Bagdasarian Productions sued for a payment of four years (2005-2009) of royalists as a result of a breach-of-contract. According to the suit, Capitol Records sent royalists to The Harry Fox Agency Inc., Bagdasarian Productions' former agent, who sent them back since the agency wasn't representing them anymore. The record company allegedly pocketed this portion of royalties meant to be paid to Bagdasarian Productions. The productions company claimed approximately $0.09 per song reproduced or distributed during the four years was due forth to them. Bagdasarian Productions sued for payment associated with Janice Karman's contributions to the script of the second CGI/live-action film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. Fox asked Karman to re-write the screenplay for the film after the company was not satisfied with their writer's initial draft. Much of the final draft comprised of her ideas and she believed she was entitled to more money than Fox offered her. She sought 50 percent of the movie's profits. Additionally, Bagdasarian Productions claimed a breach-of-contract as a result of Fox licensing the film to HBO, decreasing possible revenue, and underpaid royalties on the film's soundtrack, the Alvin and the Chipmunks' soundtrack, and other merchandise. All claims were ruled in favor of Fox.
