In a sea of audiovisual content,
our laser focus is on the royalties that accrue to the producers.
In an ocean of content, AGICOA is a compass that helps audiovisual producers and operators navigate a challenging legal environment. AGICOA understands the rights and obligations of each stakeholder.
We ensure reliability, transparency, and efficiency in licensing audiovisual content to operators and collecting secondary rights royalties for producers.
Our expertise?
Secondary rights. Trust us.
Secondary rights are the rights that the operators must acquire from the producers to distribute to the public the TV channels that include the producer’s audiovisual work. AGICOA will conclude licenses with the operators and collect the royalties from them on behalf of the producers.
Your trusted partner, from collection to payment.
AGICOA is a non-profit organization that monitors the use of audiovisual works on cable or any other similar distribution means, collects the royalties from the operators, and redistributes them to the entitled rightsholder.
Our mission
AGICOA is a non-profit organization that is strictly neutral, operating and treating all rightsholders equally regardless of their nationality or commercial weight.
Our network
The AGICOA Alliance brings together a dozen Collective Management Organizations in key media markets that facilitate the professional handling of intellectual property rights. Based locally and close to their beneficiaries, they share AGICOA’s central services and have leverage negotiating power.
Governance
AGICOA’s corporate bodies are the General Assembly (comprised of members), the Administrative Board (supervisory role), the Managing Director, and the Auditor.
