"The song 'Happy Birthday to You' is officially in the public domain, meaning no royalties are required to sing or play it. Anyone is free to use the song in videos, films, restaurants, or public gatherings without paying licensing fees.

For decades, this was not the case. The song’s history with royalties is one of the most famous copyright disputes in music history:

The Corporate Era: Music publisher Warner/Chappell claimed rights to the song and collected an estimated $2 million a year in royalties, charging thousands of dollars for its use in movies and television.

The Lawsuit: In 2013, filmmaker Jennifer Nelson filed a class-action lawsuit challenging the copyright after being charged $1,500 to use the song in a documentary.

The 2016 Ruling: A federal judge ruled that previous copyright claims were invalid and only applied to specific piano arrangements, not the song's lyrics or melody. Warner/Chappell agreed to a $14 million settlement to refund those who had paid licensing fees, and the song was permanently freed."
