Aug 1 (Reuters) - Songwriter Jake Holmes has settled a lawsuit that accused former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, music publisher Warner Chappell WMG.O and film studio Sony Pictures 6758.T of violating his rights in the song "Dazed and Confused," according to a Friday filing in California federal court.

The parties told the court that they had resolved their dispute and were finalizing a written settlement. Details of the settlement agreement were not immediately available.

Holmes' attorney Daniel Johnson declined to comment. Spokespeople for Warner Music and Sony Pictures did not immediately respond to requests for comment or more information about the settlement.

Holmes, a singer-songwriter and prominent creator of advertising jingles, wrote "Dazed and Confused" in 1967. Page's band, the Yardbirds, reworked it later that year, and his next band, Led Zeppelin, featured it on their debut album in 1969.

Holmes first sued Page for copyright infringement in 2010 over his versions of the song. That dispute was settled in 2011.

Holmes filed a new lawsuit in May alleging that Page released several archival Yardbirds live versions of "Dazed and Confused" that only credit Page as the song's writer, breaking their settlement agreement and infringing Holmes' copyright. The complaint said that the Sony Pictures documentary "Becoming Led Zeppelin," released in February also unlawfully featured "Dazed and Confused" without compensating or crediting Holmes.

Page, Sony Pictures and Warner Chappell did not respond to the allegations in court.

The case is Holmes v. Page, U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, No. 2:25-cv-03977.

For Holmes: Daniel Johnson

For the defendants: attorney information not available
