Milano worked for Twentieth Television. She developed the concept for a reality television series called "From Fat to Phat," which had contestants losing weight. A number of people knew of the idea. Twentieth decided not to pursue it.
Later,NBC announced a new show, "The Biggest Loser," which is the same idea. Milano sued NBC, Twentieth, and others for infringement of her copyrighted "treatments" for the program and for misappropriation of her ideas. Who should prevail and why? [Milano v. NBC Universal, 584 F.Supp.2d 1288, C.D. Calif., (2008)]
