Michael Wendler Fined 15,000 Euros in Copyright Dispute Ruling

The Duisburg Regional Court upheld a 2023 ruling, with Wendler retaining the option to appeal further.

Michael Wendler has been fined 15,000 euros by the Duisburg Regional Court for aiding in the obstruction of enforcement related to a 120,000-euro claim.
The case involves the transfer of copyrights for over 150 songs and the 'Wendler' brand, which were allegedly moved to shield assets from creditors.
The court upheld a 2023 ruling by the Dinslaken Court, with only minor legal adjustments to the original decision.
Wendler denies the allegations and has consistently appealed the rulings, maintaining his ownership of the disputed intellectual property.
The ruling is not yet legally binding, and Wendler has the option to appeal to the Higher Regional Court.
