Each type of intellectual property serves a different purpose and requires separate registration.
Copyright protection exists automatically upon creation of an original work. However, registration provides stronger legal proof of ownership, which is highly beneficial in case of disputes, especially in industries like media, film, software, and publishing in Mumbai.
