Question 10

Copyright protects the content of a book.

Copyright is primarily used to protect original works of authorship, which includes the content of a book. This protection grants the author exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their written work.

A) The name of a brand

While brand names are protected by trademark law, they are not covered by copyright. Copyright specifically pertains to the expression of ideas, not the titles or names used in commerce.

B) The shape of a new invention

The shape of a new invention is typically protected by patent law rather than copyright. Patents cover new inventions or designs, while copyright protects creative expressions.

C) The content of a book

This option is correct because copyright directly protects the written text, illustrations, and any original content found in a book. Authors have the exclusive right to their creative expressions and can take legal action against unauthorized use.

D) The design of a logo

The design of a logo is generally protected by trademark law, which secures brand identity. Copyright could protect artistic elements within a logo, but the logo as a whole falls under trademark protections.

Conclusion

The correct answer is C, as copyright is specifically designed to protect creative works, including the content of books. Options A, B, and D refer to protections under other areas of intellectual property law, which do not fall under copyright's scope. Thus, C is the definitive example of copyright protection.
