Reyher v. Children's Television Workshop (2d Cir. 1976) was a case where the author and illustrator of a children's book sued a company that had published a TV skit and a magazine story with a similar title and plot, claiming copyright infringement. The story was based on an old Russian folk tale. The court found that the plot or theme was not subject to copyright, and there had been no infringement since the book and the story or skit were quite different in all other respects.The court used the "total concept and feel" standard in reaching their decision.
