Le contrat d'édition est celui par lequel l'auteur d'une œuvre de l'esprit ou ses ayants droit cèdent, à des conditions déterminées, à un éditeur, le droit de fabriquer un nombre d'exemplaires de l'œuvre à charge par lui d'en assurer la publication et la diffusion. L'éditeur assume l'obligation d'exploiter. Ce contrat diffère du contrat à compte d'auteur (l'auteur assumant les risques de publication) et du contrat de compte à demi (association en participation). 2, record 1, French, - contrat%20d%27%C3%A9dition
