The Moroccan Copyright Office (Bureau Marocain du Droit d’Auteur, BMDA), official website: [http://bmda.org.ma/](http://bmda.org.ma/), was established in 1965 under Decree No.2‑64‑406 with its headquarters in Rabat. Supervised by Morocco’s Ministry of Communication, it is a public collective‑management institution with legal personality and financial autonomy. It administers copyright and related‑rights protection and registration across Morocco. As the exclusive national authority, BMDA collects and distributes royalty fees for literary, musical and dramatic works, and represents foreign copyright societies in Morocco under bilateral agreements. It combats piracy, organizes public‑awareness campaigns on intellectual property rights, safeguards local creators’ interests, and contributes to domestic copyright‑law updates. Maintaining close technical cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), it promotes alignment between Morocco’s copyright regime and international treaty standards. Its official website delivers online public services including copyright registration, legal‑document access, licensing procedures and copyright‑education resources.
