Article L113-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code

The collaborative work is the joint property of the co-authors.

The co-authors must exercise their rights by common agreement.

In the event of disagreement, it is for the civil court to rule.

Where the participation of each of the co-authors falls within different genres, each may, unless otherwise agreed, separately exploit his or her personal contribution, without, however, prejudicing the exploitation of the joint work.

Article L113-3

L’oeuvre de collaboration est la propriété commune des coauteurs.

Les coauteurs doivent exercer leurs droits d’un commun accord.

En cas de désaccord, il appartient à la juridiction civile de statuer.

Lorsque la participation de chacun des coauteurs relève de genres différents, chacun peut, sauf convention contraire, exploiter séparément sa contribution personnelle, sans toutefois porter préjudice à l’exploitation de l’oeuvre commune.
