Urgent: Intellectual Property Infringement Regarding “Jam” – Immediate Action Required

Urgent: Intellectual Property Infringement Regarding “Jam” – Immediate Action Required

Dear Spotify Team,

 

I trust this message finds you well. I am Oukeen Asad, the creator and developer behind the application “Jam - JustAddMusic”. I am reaching out with serious concerns and disappointment regarding Spotify’s recent implementation of a feature identical in concept, functionality, and naming to the original “Jam” feature described in detail in my application, identified by the API Client ID: (to be given upon request).

 

It has come to my attention that Spotify has launched a feature, also named “Jam”, that bears striking and undeniable similarities to the unique concept I meticulously developed and communicated through your API platform. The replication of my original idea without acknowledgment or compensation raises significant concerns about intellectual property infringement and ethical business conduct.

 

I have always demonstrated respect for Spotify’s platform and adhered to the strict guidelines and terms of service associated with API usage. The transparency and detail with which I described my application’s functionality were in good faith, with an expectation of reciprocal respect for intellectual property.

 

Given the gravity of this situation, I am compelled to seek immediate and constructive dialogue with the person or team responsible for the development and implementation of Spotify’s “Jam” feature. While my intention is to resolve this matter amicably, I want to assert that I am fully prepared to pursue all necessary legal avenues to safeguard my intellectual property rights should a satisfactory resolution not be reached.

 

I anticipate your timely response within the next 14 days, including details of the appropriate contact person or department for addressing this pressing matter. The seriousness of this situation cannot be understated, and I trust Spotify will approach this with the urgency and due diligence it warrants.

 

I have been advised by your advisors to post my concern here. 

 

Thank you for your immediate attention and cooperation. I look forward to addressing and resolving these concerns promptly and hope we can find a fair and equitable solution.

 

Sincerely,

Oukeen Asad

It sound to me like the advisors gave you bad advice.
Why would you follow advice from Spotify Advisors anyway.
