1) It is not compulsory for a businessman to register his trade mark or copyright.
2) If someone copies his business trademark or copyright, he can always
bring legal action to stop him from doing such things.
These actions are known as
"Legal actions of Passing off".
This he can do even if he had not registered
his trademark or copyright.
3) It is always
beneficial to register a trade mark or a copyright. By registering it, he gets several
legal benefits which he may not get if does not register it.
The Point is: It is not compulsory to do so.
