A claim was filed for infringement of copyright as to a successful television game for not giving the creator credit for his work and presenting others as the creators. The main defense was that this was not a protected "work" but only an "idea" which is not protected by the law.
The Court accepted the claim and held that the game was incepted by the claimant who reduced it to writing, prepared a detailed presentation illustrating the structure of the format, instructions for the players, defining participants, preparing questions and tasks and anchoring them as one coherent creation, which was even presented as a "pilot" to various television networks. Non-crediting is violation of the creator's moral right to receive credit for his work and thus credit need be given and at the next stage of the proceedings the Court will set the amount of compensation to be paid.
