LOS ANGELES (September 21, 2009)--Guitarist Joe Satriani and Coldplay have reached an agreement that ends a copyright infringement lawsuit filed over the band's smash hit "Viva la
Vida,” court records show.

Satriani sued Coldplay in December, claiming the band copied "substantial, original portions" of his 2004 song, "If I Could Fly."

Coldplay won a Grammy Award earlier this year for "Viva La Vida."

Last week, a federal judge in Los Angeles dismissed the case at the request of attorneys for both sides.

No details of an agreement were included in court filings, other than each side would pay its own legal costs.

Satriani is a renowned guitarist who has been nominated for numerous Grammys during his career.
