Does registration with the Writers Guild protect titles?
Titles are not registered with the WGAw Registry, as they are not protected by registration. The title or filename is mainly used to identify material within specific registrant records. The Registry does not make comparisons of titles or record title changes for registered material. Title changes do not require re-registration of material. You may wish to contact the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office regarding the use or registration of a title. They can be contacted directly at (800) 786-9199 or through their website at www.uspto.gov.
