What this is
Who is named as licensor in recent Japanese Pokémon product releases and filings, 2019–2026: in 5 releases and 2 filings read, no licence clause names The Pokémon Company or ShoPro.
How it’s built
- Read 5 product releases from 3 licensees and 2 annual securities reports, noting the role in which each company is named.
- The Pokémon Company appears in 1 of 5 releases, as seller at Pokémon Center; ShoPro in 2 as issuer or brand operator and in 2 more only in the copyright line.
- Neither filing has a Pokémon row in its table of important contracts.
What we assumed
- A missing name is silence, not evidence.It supports neither company as licensor; seven documents is a thin base.
Sanity check
The named counterparties on record are unchanged: ShoPro on Takara Tomy's toy licence, with The Pokémon Company co-named only in the filings for the years to March 2013–2015.
