## Summary

Chris Harrison says Warner Bros’ legal action over the teaser for his new dating show, *The Vow*, feels “personal”. He suggested the studio’s decision to challenge the programme, after years of other relationship shows, should be judged in light of his departure from *The Bachelor* franchise.

Warner Bros’ letter alleged the teaser infringed its copyright and trademarks through falling rose petals, use of the words “The Bachelor”, a tuxedoed man holding a rose and a mansion resembling the Bachelor mansion. Fox News Media’s legal counsel disputed that the studio owns rights to the rose motif or to “The Bachelor” when used colloquially to mean an unmarried man. Harrison left the franchise in June 2021; *The Vow* is due to premiere on Fox Nation on 11 November.
