Legal Question
i wrote a television script, had it copyrighted with the library of congress and registered it with the writers guild of america.
i have since found out that the title of my script is the same as a title of a novel that was written 20 years ago and that has subsequently made into a video game using the same title.
my 2 questions are this:
1- do i have to change the title of my script?
2- if my script was to be picked up by a network what legal problems would we run into with the name of my tv show being the same as that novel and video game?
