THE TITLE REPORT
The Title Report is a result of an elaborate and complete search of prior uses of your title as well as other
similar titles. Although titles cannot be copyrights, use of a title which is indelibly linked in the public
mind with a film or television program (such as "Gone With the Wind," for example) can subject you to
possible litigation based upon the likelihood of confusion if the title is trademarked, or on passing off if it
appears your title may be linked to some previous very successful film or book. The Report can also
ensure that another producer is not currently producing a film or television program of the same title.
This Report will enable the producer to determine whether he can safely use his title.
The report includes a search of the U.S. Copyright Office and the Library of Congress records, common
law sources that provide information on motion pictures, television, videos, dramatic works, comic
books, music and current tradepaper references, and Federal trademark records.
TITLE OPINION
The Title Opinion is a document generated by an
attorney in which the attorney gives his or her opinion, based on the
information in the Title Search, as to whether the title of the project is safe
to use. This report can be generated by the Law Offices of Suzanne R.
