The owner of The Bachelor sent a formal legal notice to Fox Nation over a new dating series.

That series is The Vow, and former Bachelor host Chris Harrison hosts it.

Warner Bros. Discovery says the show copies protected format elements of the long-running franchise.

The article says the company alleges copyright infringement based on those similarities.

Fox News representatives called the accusations malicious and vindictive and defended the new series.

The network says The Vow is an independent creation and does not violate existing copyrights.

Legal experts in the piece say television format fights rarely reach trial and often settle privately.

Neither side has indicated a willingness to compromise, the article says.
