Reviewing the record, we do not believe the Parties have adequately addressed Plaintiffs' argument that Patty Hill abandoned the copyright to the Happy Birthday to You lyrics. The issue was barely discussed at oral argument and the summary judgment briefing frequently conflates the issue with the question of whether the copyright was lost due to general publication. Accordingly, we hereby ORDER the parties to meet and confer, preferably in person, and submit a joint supplementary brief of no more than twenty-four pages (divided evenly between the Parties) on the issue of abandonment within fourteen days hereof. The Parties are further ORDERED to attend oral argument on the issue on Tuesday, June 9, 2015 at 9:30 A.M. In their joint brief, the Parties shall bear in mind the following: (see document for further details) (bm)
