Re: You have a great title for your spec - can you protect i
Copyright doesn't cover titles.
There's an agreement amongst film producers in which they can reserve titles - I've forgotten the details but someone else'll probably have them. And you can apply for a trademark - again I don't know the ins and outs about when and whether your title would be accepted -- but if its generic, then it wouldn't be.
-- but don't worry about protecting your title..
Titles are easy - one to a few words and highly likely to change in the course of a film's development - don't imagine that your title is going to stick. And if someone else has used it/uses it then - no big deal - you can still use it as well, or like I say titles are easy - change it - its probably not as uniquely brilliant as you think it is.
