Academic account (2019) of how Pokémon's Japanese rights windows are split and how supervision is layered, 2019

The value

• Supervision chain: 「ライセンシーからの申請→アニメ版権ライセンサーの監修→権利元の確認・決済」となると、版権監修は重層化し

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

Where it comes from

The line in the source

版権管理もそれぞれ「（a）→株式会社ポケモン」、「（b）→小学館集英社プロダクション（※TVアニメーションシリーズの製作元であり、同ジャンルのメインライセンシーとも言える）」と窓口を分けている。

In English

Rights administration is likewise split into two windows: (a) [game original] → The Pokémon Company; (b) [anime as secondary original] → ShoPro (producer of the TV anime series and, one might say, the main licensee of that genre).
