INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ENTERPRISE COURT, 17.01.2025, Rinkoff v. BABY COW PRODUCTIONS LTD., richiamante Snowden J nella sentenza Norowzian and Green del 2000.
Riporto il succo:
<<44 I do not need to decide on this interim application the precise conditions that must be satisfied before a television format can be protected as a dramatic work.
What I think is apparent from the authorities, however, is that copyright protection will not subsist unless, as a minimum: (i) there are a number of clearly identified features which, taken together, distinguish the show in question from others of a similar type; and (ii) that those distinguishing features are connected with each other in a coherent framework which can be repeatedly applied so as to enable the show to be reproduced in recognisable form>>.
