Multiplication or sum of two numbers

Question

Given two integer numbers, return their product only if the product is equal to or less than 1000, else return their sum.

def multiplication_or_sum(num1, num2):
    product = num1 * num2
    if product < = 1000:
        return product
    else:
        return num1 + num2

result = multiplication_or_sum(20,30)
print("The result is = ", result)


result = multiplication_or_sum(50,10)
print("The result is = ", result)

my output

The result is =  600
The result is =  500

expected output

The result is =  600
The result is =  60

Please help me in finding the error.
