According To The District Court An Expert Witness Chair Dept. Of Music Theory & Composition Shepherd School Of Music Rice University Determined The Songs To Be "substantially Similar" A Requirement For An Infringement Finding . With Regard To The Musical Hook The Expert Stated In His Report "When The Aural Comparisons Of The Two Songs Are Presented In The Key Of C Minor For Easy Comparison And Presented Back-To-Back In AB Fashion Even The Least Musically Inclined Listener Should Immediately Determine That The Two Songs Are Strikingly Similar I Daresay That Many Listeners May Even Perceive Them As Being The Same Song! And Again Transposing A Song For This Purpose Does Not Alter Any Fundamental Qualities Or Characteristics Of The Song But Merely Assists The Ability Of Those Unfamiliar With The Technicalities Of Music In Making A Comparison." The District Court Judge Nonetheless Ruled That She Herself Could Not Hear The Similarities Between The Two Songs And Dismissed The Case Denying The Motion For The Songs Or Case To Be Heard By A Jury. On Appeal The United States Court Of Appeals For The Fifth Circuit Affirmed The District Court's Ruling But Ruled With Different Reasoning. It Held That There Was No Infringement Based On Knowles' Claim That Armour's Demo Tape Was Received Shortly After The Writing Of Knowles' Song Had Been Substantially Completed. However The Court Did Not Address The Issue Of Substantial Similarity
