Context: "Le Petit Prince TM, Dessine-moi TM © Succession Antione de Saint-Exupéry 2009"

I am struggling to find the meaning and English translation of the word "succession" in this context. I assume it refers to the right of Saint-Exupéry to be identified as the author of "The Little Prince"?

Merci d'avance.
