According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, a company called Hirose Enterprise and a producer named Shuji Hirose are suing Beyonc\u00e9 and various music companies for alleged copyright infringement.

Hirose says it put Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s company is on notice about the infringement but has continued to sell the record. The company is seeking an injunction to stop Beyonc\u00e9 from continuing to make money off their work and for unspecified damages.
