[1] The company holds the rights to Alvin and the Chipmunks and related intellectual property assets.

The company has co-produced many television series, specials, and films and initiated multiple lawsuits to protect the characters.

Nickelodeon (U.S.) Bagdasarian Productions sued for payment associated with Janice Karman's contributions to the script of the second CGI/live-action film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.

Fox asked Karman to re-write the screenplay after the company was dissatisfied with their writer's initial draft.

Additionally, Bagdasarian Productions claimed a breach of contract due to Fox licensing the film to HBO, decreasing possible revenue, and underpaid royalties on the film's soundtrack, the Alvin and the Chipmunks' soundtrack, and other merchandise.
