On the afternoon of June 27, the appeal hearing on the intellectual property dispute related to the poem Carrying Mother took place at the headquarters of the High People's Court in Ho Chi Minh City (Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City).
"I'm really touched... finally Ganh Me has officially returned to its owner after nearly 5 years," said author Truong Minh Nhat.
Accordingly, the court upheld the first instance verdict, rejected all of Quach Beem's (real name Doan Dong Duc) appeals, and confirmed that since the date of the verdict, Mr. Truong Minh Nhat is the author and owner of the poem Carrying Mother , and is also the author of the lyrics of the song Carrying Mother (music: Quach Beem).
"I am so happy, I can't hold back my tears. After nearly 5 years, since discovering that my poem Carrying Mother was used by singer-songwriter Quach Beem for the song of the same name without permission... finally Carrying Mother has returned to my Carrying Father - Truong Minh Nhat", Mr. Truong Minh Nhat shared after the trial.
He said emotionally: "Finally, the days of heartache, anxiety, anger... and being wrongly accused while pursuing this case have ended."
While the lawsuit between author Truong Minh Nhat and Ly Hai Production and Quach Beem is being brought to court, YouTube has removed the clip of the song "Carrying Mother" - OST of the movie " Flip Side 4".
Previously, in November 2019, Mr. Truong Minh Nhat authorized Phan Law Vietnam to sue musician Quach Beem at the Ho Chi Minh City People's Court for illegally using his poem "Carrying Mother" to set to music. Mr. Nhat also wrote a petition to the Copyright Office requesting to cancel the validity of the Copyright Registration Certificate for the song "Carrying Mother" that the Office had granted to musician Quach Beem.
While the dispute over the intellectual property rights of the poem between Mr. Truong Minh Nhat and musician Quach Beem has not been resolved (Quach Beem also affirmed on his official personal page: "I am the singer - musician Quach Beem - author of the song Ganh me and have full legal documents on copyright. The song Ganh me was composed, transcribed by me and licensed by the Copyright Department of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism"), the case was transferred to the producer of the film that used the song Ganh me, because later Quach Beem signed a contract with Ly Hai Production Company Limited (of singer Ly Hai) to use this song as the soundtrack for the film Lat mat 4: Nha co khach...
Petition for help by author Truong Minh Nhat
At the first instance hearing of the intellectual property dispute related to this poem, in April 2022, The Ho Chi Minh City People's Court declared Mr. Truong Minh Nhat to be the author and copyright owner of the poem "Ganh Me" (composed by Quach Beem), used in the film "Lat Mat 4: Nha Co Khach" (by Ly Hai Production Company Limited). The musician Quach Beem later appealed.
