Warner Bros. Sues Fox Over 'The Vow' Promos, Citing 'Bachelor' Trademark Infringement

Warner Bros. TV issued a cease-and-desist letter to Fox News Media and Lionsgate over promotional materials for the upcoming dating series 'The Vow.'

The dispute centers on the return of former 'Bachelor' host Chris Harrison to the dating show format after a five-year absence.
