Rex Omar wins copyright case against Joy Dadi Bitters, gets GHc200,000

After almost 5 years of legal battle, the Koforidua High Court has awarded damages of GHS200,000 and costs of GHS30,000 to Rex Omar against Joy Industries Limited for infringing on the copyright of the musician.

On June 15, 2015 Rex Omar filed a suit against Joy Industries Limited for using parts of his “Dada dida” song to promote and advertise their product, Joy Dadi Bitters’ without his consent.

In November, Rex Omar secured an interlocutory injunction restraining Joy Industries Limited from using his works.

The court further ordered that directors, officers, agents and servants of Joy Dadi Bitters should stop any electronic media from playing the commercial immediately, pending the final determination of the case.
