Copyright vs. Neighbouring Rights: The Case of Dhaba Diners

Imagine a small dhaba serving the yummiest kulchas in town. The owner, Ramesh, takes a long time to perfect the recipe and becomes famous. One day, a rival dhaba owner, Rohan, opens a competing shop and starts selling almost identical kulchas. The big difference is, Rohan didn't steal the recipe from Ramesh, but he didn't create it from scratch either. He got it from his cousin, who had worked at Ramesh's dhaba for a while. Here's the problem - Ramesh's recipe is protected under neighbouring rights, not copyright. This means Rohan can't use it without permission, but he's not necessarily stealing the recipe itself. This is similar to the difference between copyright and neighbouring rights in IP law.
