Correct copyright form

I need to know the correct copyright form to use for a ''Television Show'', a reality show. Need to have the idea and the actual show copywritten.

Re: Correct copyright form

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. Copyright protection applies automatically as soon as the work is in tangible form - book, video, etc. However, attaching a copyright notice will preclude a user from claiming innocent infringement. This commonly appears in the form of "� (year of publication) (author or owner)." You have the option to register the copyright, which will help you if you have to enforce your rights.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
