Home / RLA / Article 10. Co-authorship of the Law on Copyright and Related Rights

1. Copyright in a work created by the joint creative work of two or more persons (co-authorship) belongs to the co-authors jointly, regardless of whether such a work forms one inseparable whole or consists of parts, each of which also has an independent meaning.

A part of a work is recognized as having independent significance if it can be used independently of other parts of this work.

Each of the co-authors has the right to use the part of the work created by him, which has an independent meaning, at his discretion, unless otherwise provided by agreement between them.

2. The right to use the work as a whole belongs to the co-authors jointly. The relationship of co-authors can be determined by an agreement between them. If the work of the co-authors forms an inseparable whole, then none of the co-authors has the right to prohibit the use of the work without sufficient grounds.

3. Each of the co-authors has the right, on his own behalf, including without obtaining permission from other co-authors, to take measures provided for by this Law and other legislative acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan related to the protection of his rights, unless otherwise provided by agreement between them.
