You can sue anyone for anything, you just can't necessarily win. The court found in favor of Fogerty.

Absolutely right. The fact that it even got a full trial shows there are legal questions here.
But as far as that specific trial - not anymore. Fogerty vs. Fantasy becomes case law, and so any future cases with substantively similar facts are going to be ruled the same way. That's how the law works.
