The Copyright Society of Liberia (COSOL) is the secretariat and enforcement arm of the Liberia Intellectual Property Office (LIPO), established in 2019 following Liberia’s 2016 Intellectual Property Act and operationalised in 2020. It is based in Monrovia, on the LIPO compound on United Nations Drive.

COSOL handles the protection and collection of royalties for creative works, including music. Doegbazee Kokulo Zaza Jr. was announced as Executive Director in February 2026, succeeding James Y. Draper, who had held the role since April 2024.

The society has no standalone website; its main public channel is Facebook (facebook.com/cosolinfo).
