Abstract
This article examines the nuances of the debate concerning the intellectual property regime governing software. It analyses both legally and economically the question of whether software should be granted patent or copyright protection and with an eye trained on the Indian software industry, it argues for a stronger copyright regime by virtue of the considerations of time-period, extent and threshold of protection, and enforcement mechanisms.
