CASE STUDY : Zee Entertainment Enterprises
Limited
versus
Sony Pictures Networks India Private
Limited"

7. CASE STUDY : (Plaintiff) Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited
VERSUS
(Defendant) Sony Pictures Networks India Private Limited"
Copyright Protection With Respect To Reality T.V. Shows
FACTS AND ISSUES:
 The Plaintiff, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (“Zee”) claims that its popular show India’s Best Dramebaaz, a televised
talent hunt for child actors in the 5–12 year age group has been illicitly copied by the 1st Defendant, Sony Pictures
Networks India Private Limited (“Sony”).
 Zee says Sony has infringed its copyright in its concept note and ‘production bible’.
COURT DECISION/JUDGEMENT
1) On Originality-
• A talent hunt requires eliminations from a larger pool and selection of a winner from a larger crowd. There has to be some process of
auditioning.
• Fact that both shows feature children, they seek out children with acting talent from different cities, and fact that they seek out best of these is
hardly something in which anyone can claim any Copyright.
2) Defendant not infringed Plaintiff’s programme:
• In this industry, it is common to use this document called a 'concept note'.
• There is no doubt that copyright can vest in an original concept note as original literary work.
• But this is not to suggest that every page of a concept note enjoys the same level of protection. It is not possible to accept that there can be any
such monopoly in the concept of a talent hunt for children.
• In the present case granting copyright protection to plaintiff would mean granting protection to an idea which is not the objective of grant of
Copyright.
3) Doctrines to understand the judgement in this case:
 IDEA- EXPRESSION DICHOTOMY
 MERGER DOCTRINE
