Yahoo News: Coldplay Refutes Plagiarism Claim, Disses Satriani in Court:
"In court papers filed in Los Angeles Monday, Coldplay responded to Satriani's copyright-infringement claim, saying the 52-year-old guitarist's song "lacks originality" and therefore was in no position to receive copyright protection.
Furthermore, the British rockers' attorneys claimed that any similarity was so minimal that it did not warrant the legal action.
Back in December, Satriani claimed the group, who incidentally won the Grammy for Song of the Year for the in-question tune, had repurposed "substantial" portions of his song for their hit."
