Content Overseas Distribution Association

Japanese trade association

The Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) (Japanese: コンテンツ海外流通促進機構, Hepburn: Kontentsu Kaigai Ryūtsū Sokushin Kikō) is a Japanese trade association based in Tokyo.[1] It was established in 2002 for international distribution of Japanese content (frequently anime and manga) and taking countermeasures against piracy.

In 2013, CODA merged with Anti-Counterfeiting Association (ACA), in order to strengthen their capability for copyright protection and offer comprehensive measures against copyright infringement in Japan as well as overseas.[2]

In 2022, CODA established the International Anti-Piracy Organization (IAPO),[3] with associating 32 members,[4] the Motion Picture Association, and Copyright Society of China within approximately 450 members.[5]

Content Japan (or CJ Mark) was created in 2005 by the Anti-Counterfeiting Association,[6] it can be seen on packages in music, videos and other media.[7]
