Tresona Multimedia v. ClicknClear

District court grants music rights technology company ClicknClear's motion to dismiss false advertising claims brought by competitor, holding that statements about what music rights are needed for performing arts and choreographed sports groups are non-actionable opinions of law.

ClicknClear is a music licensing and technology company that issues licenses for musical works and sound recordings to groups who perform choreographed routines with music, including figure skating, gymnastics and cheerleading groups. ClicknClear also offers a License Verification System (LVS) that helps performing groups determine whether their licenses contain a grant of all required rights. Tresona Multimedia LLC is a competing music licensing agency that issues licenses for musical works and sound recordings to performing arts groups such as vocal ensembles and marching bands.
