That would need to be a court looking back at the original contracts but I doubt Monk would have paid for it out of his own pocket which would mean it was either owned by the band or the record company or jointly since Monk would be using band money as their agent. Since Van Halen by all accounts signed a terrible 'Motown' style 1970s record contract IMHO chances are there will be a clause that gives ownership to the record company.
