    Idea Submissions - how to protect the material you submit

    By Gordon Firemark | June 12, 2008

    Barry Neil Schrum is an entertainment lawyer in Nashville.   On his Law on the Row website (reference to Nashville’s ‘Music Row’), he’s posted a very good article about idea protection when making submissions.

    He’s addressed not only copyright protection and the usual quasi-contract approach to idea protection, but also trademarks.  He also offers some good practical advice for those making submissions of literary material.
