Collective Work

Collective work refers to a creative project where multiple individuals contribute their skills and ideas, and the resulting work is treated as a single entity. In legal terms, it means that the combined effort is recognized as a unified creation, often owned jointly by all contributors. This concept is common in fields like literature, music, and film, where collaborative efforts produce a shared work. Importantly, it highlights that each contributor's role is integral to the final product, and licensing or permissions typically involve all parties involved in creating the work.
