Case report · FFR-125
125 — Fun Fair Records
Open case ↗Needs attention
- Confirm that “Snow Elves” is a composition written (in whole or in part) by Galen Tipton and that it is included in the prior-work grant. The available Galen Tipton agreement says Exhibit A's prior compositions are “All compositions to be added at a later date”; the work is not named in the five active organization documents.
- The composition agreement grants rights to Funfair Publishing Limited, not the case owner Fun Fair Records. No instrument connecting those entities or conveying the composition rights to Fun Fair Records was found in this organization's active document library. The agreement starts 17 March 2026; the post is dated 12 May 2025, and the inspected language does not establish the case owner's rights on the post date.
- Confirm applicable Third Chair authority for Fun Fair Records. Its authorization letter names “Funfair Records Limited,” while the form's Company and dated-as-of fields are blank; the available text does not establish that signer as the case organization.

Show chain diagram
- Master: Not listed for this work (the active catalogue entry lists composition only). - Composition: The catalogue asserts composition scope, but available evidence does not establish this work's chain to Fun Fair Records. A Galen Tipton publishing agreement grants composition rights to Funfair Publishing Limited, but the prior-work schedule says compositions are to be added later and does not identify this work. A later agreement with a separate entity does not establish Fun Fair Records' rights, or its rights as of the 2025 post.

Supporting documents
- Galen_Tipton_Publishing_Admin_Agreement.pdfClause 1.1 grants the writer's composition rights to Funfair Publishing Limited for the retention period; Schedule 2 defines compositions to include prior works, but Exhibit A says prior compositions are “All compositions to be added at a later date.” No inspected text identifies “Snow Elves” or links the publisher's rights to Fun Fair Records.
- Third_Chair_-_Fun_Fair_Records_Client_Claim_Authorization_Letter_Completed.pdfText describes authority for Funfair Records Limited and includes a BoldSign document ID; the Company and “Dated as of” fields are blank, and the case-owner identity match is unresolved.
Document check
Still needed
- Work-specific evidence identifying the composition writer(s) and including “Snow Elves” in the prior-work grant, with effective date and scope.
- The rights instrument or identity evidence connecting Funfair Publishing Limited to Fun Fair Records.
- Confirmation of applicable Third Chair authorization for the case owner.
What supports the chain
The case owner's active catalogue contains a composition-scope entry for the matched track. The searched track-registration results contain no registration numbers, and the case has no registration number. The only inspected composition agreement grants to a different company and does not identify this prior work in its listed schedule; therefore the chain to Fun Fair Records is not established by the reviewed evidence. Master rights were not reviewed because master is not listed for this catalogue work.
