I'm pretty sure that Chuck Berry and the song writer came close to suing Lennon (or he may have actually sued him), but they came to some kind of agreement so it didn't turn into a huge legal thing. I'm looking for some kind of source right now.

Got it: http://rockmusic.suite101.com/articl..._come_together. So they actually did go to court over this.
