Application of certain provisions to works of joint authorship and joint ownership.

117.—(1) The paternity right or the integrity right is, in the case of a work of joint authorship, a right of each joint author.

(2) A waiver made under section 116 of the paternity right or the integrity right by one joint author shall not affect the rights of the other joint authors.
