Record

The finding that no swept US filing by a Western licensee or retailer prices a Pokémon licence or names The Pokémon Company International

FY2016-FY2026

ReportedA negative finding from a systematic search of public filings. Reported.

How it’s built

  1. Filing documents from 2015 to 2026 were fetched from the SEC archive, stripped of markup, decoded, and searched for Pokémon in any spelling and for TPCi's full name.
  2. Matches were checked for a royalty rate, minimum guarantee, term or territory.

What we assumed

Nothing. The figure is used as published.

Sanity check

The filings do carry blended licence figures, such as Funko's average royalty rate and Mattel's total minimum guarantees, so licence economics are disclosed in aggregate but never for Pokémon.

The values

  • Ex10 documents searched: 791
  • TPCi named documents: 0
  • Exhibit10 with Pokémon: 0
  • Pokémon specific royalty rate disclosed: 0
  • Pokémon specific minimum guarantee disclosed: 0

Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
