Thank you for the correction, my bad. but, you solidified my statement with the last sentence to stated...and I quote "However, for litigation purposes you have to first register your work." and I don't believe that has been done by the "dev" (and I use that term VERY loosely) in this case.(fixed the quote/italics)
That's incorrect. An original work has to be creative and you pretty much describe what is not counted as creative. Here is what the website you linked toYou must be registered to see the links:
"There are some things, however, that are not creative, like: titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring; and mere listings of ingredients or contents. And always keep in mind that copyright protects expression, and never ideas, procedures, methods, systems, processes, concepts, principles, or discoveries."
And don't mix up copyright with copywrite. It's not the same thing.
Again, incorrect. You have the copyright as soon as you create the work. However, for litigation purposes you have to first register your work.
You also have to take into consideration did he buy the assets or did he get them from places like F95? The old adage, don't throw stones when you live in a glass house rings very true here. Most devs do try to stay as legal as possible, however, there are those that also try to keep their overhead to a bare minimum by using assets from here and other places.
