To be a joint author, a writer must contribute an independently copyrightable portion of the work. RELATED TERMS-------------------------------------- Copyright Copyright is governed by the Copyright, Designs and Patent Act 1988 and is intended to protect against others copying and exploiting the form in which a copyright exists (a "work"). It does not however protect the idea behind the work. The copyright, whether it be in a literary, dramatic, musical and artistic work or mechanical rights (sound recordings, film etc.) is generally owned by the author unless he assigns the rights to another. In addition to works already created, the author can agree to assign the rights of works to be created in the future. Intention A design, resolve, or determination of the mind. Contributions Public law. Taxes or money contributed to the support of the government. Joint United, not separate; as, joint action, or one which is brought by several persons acting together; joint bond, a bond given by two or more obligors. Portion That part of a parent's estate, or the estate of one standing in loco parentis, which is given to a child. SIMILAR TERMS-------------------------------------- Joinder in demurrer When a demurrer is offered by one party, the adverse party joins with him in demurrer, and the answer which he makes is called a joinder in demurrer. Joinder of actions Practice. The putting two or more causes of action in the same declaration. It is a general rule, that in real actions there can never be but one count. Joinder of issue Pleadings. The act by which the parties to a cause arrive at that stage of it in their pleadings, that one asserts a fact to be so, and the other denies it. For example, when one party denies the fact pleaded by his antagonist, who has tendered the issue thus, "And this he prays may be inquired of by the country," or, "And of this he puts himself upon the country," the party denying the fact may immediately subjoin, "And the said A B does the like;" when the issue is said to be joined. Joinder of parties to actions It is a rule in actions ex contractu that all who have a legal interest in the contract, and no others, must join in action founded on a breach of such contract; whether the parties are too many or too few, it is equally fatal. Joint United, not separate; as, joint action, or one which is brought by several persons acting together; joint bond, a bond given by two or more obligors. Joint and several liability Where two or more people enter into an obligation such as a guarantee together, joint and several liability means that the lender or creditor can recover the whole indebtedness from any one of them. They are then left to sort out their respective contributions between themselves. Joint contract One in which the contractors are jointly bound to perform the promise or obligation therein contained, or entitled to receive the benefit of such promise or obligation. It is a general rule that a joint contract survives, whatever may be the beneficial interests of the parties under it; where a partner, covenantor, or other person entitled, having a joint interest in a contract not running with the land, dies, the right to sue survives in the other partner. Joint custody A child custody decision which means that both parents share joint legal custody and joint physical custody. This is not very common and many professionals have taken to referring to "joint legal custody but sole maternal physical custody" as "joint custody". Joint legal custody A form of custody of minor children in which the parents share the responsibilities and major decision-making related to the child. Joint liability Where the joint obligor has the right to insist that the co-obligor be joined as a co-defendant, and that the co-obligor be sued jointly.

But they differ from the latter in this, that they are invested by certain statutes with powers and privileges usually incident to corporations. These enactments provide for the continuance of the partnership, notwithstanding a change of partners. The death, bankruptcy, or the sale by a partner of his share, does not affect the identity of the partnership; it, continues the same body, under the same name, by virtue of the act of parliament, notwithstanding these changes. Joint tenancy When two or more persons are equally owners of some property. The unique aspect of joint tenancy is that as the joint tenancy owners die, their shares accrue to the surviving owner(s) so that, eventually, the entire share is held by one person.
