@simon What are you even talking about?You can't copyright a chord progression 🤦♀️ These cases are proven (or not) on closeness of one * melody * to another.Sometimes (much rarer) it can be decided on the arrangement rather than the melody.

@simon Ahh, OK I see where you are coming from here.I think (I'm not an IP lawyer) that the BBC guy has missed the point and is over simplifying the crux of the case.BBC are not renowned for being 'factual' these days.I suspect the Marvin Gaye's estate are going for copyright on 'voice leading' (which can be copyrighted - see linked article).i.e. the progression of chords in this case implies a (very simple) melody of root, third, fourth, fifth.https://support.easysong.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500009595681-What-Parts-of-Music-Can-Be-Copyrighted-and-What-Can-t-

@simon 2/I agree with you though.If they win on that basis it would be ridiculous.I'd be surprised if they did win, as I believe it would leave them open to plagiarism action against 'Let's Get It On' 😉 I mean there must be a lot of songs from the 1950's which use a I, vi, IV, V chord progression with a 'leading voice' that imply exactly the same melody.And they got 'Blurred Lines' on a very tenuous 'arrangement' copyright IMO.

@simon Which is the very reason that a chord progression per se can't be copyrighted.
