However, except where otherwise agreed between the co-authors, if a joint work can be divided into independent parts, each co-author shall be free to use the independent part which he created while remaining a joint holder of the rights linked to the joint work considered as a whole. However, the use shall not be prejudicial to that of the joint work. (2) Co-authors shall exercise their rights by mutual agreement. The co-author who takes the initiative of going to court to defend his patrimonial rights shall be bound, under pain of inadmissibility, to involve his co-authors. (3) The updating of the components of a work belonging to one of the co-authors may not be done without his consent or without a formal notification to do so if he objects.
