What this is
What The Pokémon Company International has done since it was formed: overseen Pokémon licensing outside Asia since its incorporation in Delaware as Pokémon USA in February 2001.
How it’s built
- Read from the Federal Court of Australia’s 2017 judgment in Pokemon Company International v Redbubble: it “has overseen the licensing of Pokémon products outside of Asia including Australia, North America, South America, Europe and Africa”.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
A court’s recital of the company’s role, not a contract. It does not show how licensing money moves between the US arm and Tokyo.
The value
- TPCi has overseen licensing outside Asia since incorporation (Feb 2001)
