Société pour la Gestion des Droits d'Auteur

SOGEDA, Société pour la Gestion des Droits d'Auteur à Monaco, is the official body responsible for protecting and managing the rights of creators, authors and composers in the Principality. A pillar of Monaco's cultural landscape, it has worked since its creation to ensure respect for intellectual property and fair remuneration for artists whose works are distributed or exploited in the country.

Its main mission is to collect and distribute royalties arising from the communication, performance or reproduction of musical, literary, audiovisual or artistic works. It acts as an intermediary between creators and users (media, public institutions, event organizers, broadcasters, etc.), ensuring fair and transparent management of these rights.

SOGEDA also plays an essential role in promoting and enhancing artistic creation in Monaco. By collaborating with cultural institutions, show organizers and local artists, it actively contributes to the Principality's cultural dynamism. It assists creators with administrative and legal formalities, informs them of their rights and helps defend their interests in the face of new challenges linked to digital distribution and the globalization of content.

It operates within a rigorous legal framework that complies with international intellectual property standards. SOGEDA collaborates with numerous sister companies around the world to ensure global protection of the works of Monegasque and foreign authors whose creations are distributed in the Principality.

SOGEDA embodies Monaco's commitment to preserving and supporting creativity in all its forms. It represents an essential link between artists, cultural enterprises and the public, guaranteeing a balance between the distribution of works and the recognition of creative work.

Through its expertise, rigor and commitment, SOGEDA contributes to the continuity of Monaco's artistic and cultural heritage. It bears witness to the importance attached by the Principality to culture, to the protection of talent and to the promotion of the work of authors, musicians and creators who contribute to the international influence of Monegasque cultural life.
