How it’s built
- From the decision of the dispute panel for Japanese domain names (JPRS case JP2019-0005, pokemon-expo-gym.jp, 18 October 2019), which states the company is not the trademark owner.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Covers the trademarks cited in that case, such as the ‘Pokémon EXPO Gym’ mark. The same ruling says copyright in the characters is shared by four companies including The Pokémon Company, and the domain was still transferred to it.

The line in the source
したがって、商標権に関する限り、「権利者」には、申立人は含まれない。 In English
Therefore, as far as trademark rights are concerned, the complainant is not among the 'rights holders'. Also: 申立人は、それらの商標権者ではない (the complainant is not the owner of those trademarks); 申立人の設立主体である権利者 (the rights holders that established the complainant).
