Martin Alexander created a pilot script for a new television sitcom entitled Loony Ben. Beginning in March

Question:

Martin Alexander created a pilot script for a new television sitcom entitled Loony Ben. Beginning in March 2006, Alexander submitted copies of the script to agents, producers, directors, production companies, and television networks. In September 2009, the sitcom Modern Family debuted on ABC and was, according to Alexander, remarkably similar to his own Loony Ben. Alexander sued for copyright infringement, alleging that both works included slapstick elements, focused on nontraditional families, and addressed issues of divorce, racial diversity, and sexuality, among other similarities. With what government office would Alexander have registered his work in order to preserve his rights? Assuming the work was registered, what is the range of damages to which Alexander might be entitled?
