Line 46:
An interesting earlier songbook is ''Golden Book of Favorite Songs'' (Chicago, 1915). It includes the song "Good Morning to All" printed with the alternate title: "Happy Birthday to You." However, the "Happy Birthday to You" lyrics are not actually printed along the staff.
 
Regardless of the fact that "Happy Birthday to You" infringed upon ''Good Morning to All'', there is one theory that because the "Happy Birthday to You" variation was not authored by the Hills, and it was published without notice of copyright under the 1909 U. S. copyright act, that the 1935 registration is invalid. ''(Please note: [[Wikipedia:Legal disclaimer|Wikipedia does not give legal advice.]])''
