The Seinfeld music was an unnamed slap bass score, and the show never had an opening sequence. The credits were just shown over the first scene.
The bass riff seems to be based on Bobby Brown's My Prerogative (HFA M82660), widely played in 1988. The Seinfeld Show started in 1990.
Since a mechanical license was not issued, Brown would need to prove copyright infringement by proving 1) Wolff (Seinfeld theme song creator) had access and heard the song (the song was very popular -- it doesn't matter if Wolff knew he was copying), 2) that the part used, no matter how many notes, is substantially similar and is an important part of the song (not in the public domain like a I-IV-V progression), and 3) there was profit (not used for education, news, ...)
Wolff could counter that he did not get the rights because he was making a fair use parody of the song.
