Quoted from leitskev
I don't think you can copyright a treatment, but I'm not sure. A treatment is just an idea, though more organized. So you could still write a script based on that treatment. Anyone could, actually. I think.


I copyright all the treatments for my original written ideas.
Especially if I know I won't be getting to the screenplay for a long time.

So, even if I were to discuss the property with a colleague down the road, I'm safe.
Spitballing ideas is where things get tricky and all collaborative and stuff.
