      A family of subsets of a finite underlying set has the equal union property, if there exist two disjoint subfamilies of the subsets having the same union. The authors prove that any \(n\) nonempty subsets of an \(n\)-element underlying set have this property if the sum of their cardinalities exceeds \(n(n+1)/2.\)
