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.
