True or False: A trademark is a form of protection for original works of literature.

A trademark specifically protects symbols, names, and slogans used to identify goods or services. It is designed to prevent confusion in the marketplace regarding the source of products or services. While trademarks can play a role in branding and marketing literature, they do not protect the actual literary work itself, which is typically covered under copyright law. Copyright protects original works of authorship, including literature, art, music, and other creative expressions. Therefore, the statement that a trademark protects original works of literature is false. Trademarks and copyrights serve different purposes and protect different aspects of intellectual property.
