Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Vermont
How to learn what not to do in making "my own" version of a famous TV game show!
(Copyright law, etc.) I've done some research and found that it's more complicated than I expected.

A format can't be protected but certainly creative elements of the show can be.
Before you jump into anything, I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in private and discuss your objectives in more detail. You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with.
If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.
