Abstract: The protection of television format rights as intellectual property provides a difficult and complicated terrain for artists, producers, and legal professionals in the dynamic and ever-changing global content trade business. This paper explores the opportunities and problems related to format rights protection in the international content trade sector. It draws attention to the difficulties confronted by producers, artists, and legal experts in defending novel formats in a setting that is changing quickly. It highlighted how crucial it is for organizations like the Format Recognition and Protection Association (FRAPA) to support format owners and developers, as well as how crucial it is to establish industry standards and promote collaboration. Stakeholders can strive for improved innovation in a competitive market, fair trade practices, and legal clarity by negotiating the complexities of format recognition and protection.
