Oricon Interviews Bandai’s Takayuki Okazaki from Legal and Intellectual Property Department on Protecting the Tamagotchi Brand
This is an interesting read. It comes as no surprise with great success comes a lot of imitation. Oricon recently interviewed Takayuki Okazaki from the Bandai Legal and Intellectual Property Department who provides really insightful information on how Bandai protects the Tamagotchi brand, and how much they’ve learned over the years.
Bandai has always faced a serious problem with counterfeit products (pirated versions) especially during the first boom in 1996, it was said to be a pretty unimaginable situation. Mr. Takayuki Okazaki of the Legal and Intellectual Property Department looks back on the confusion at that time and lessons learned.
Shortly after the original release back in 1996, counterfeit devices were popping up which impacted brand reputation and sales. Due to the speed of the legal system, there was even a concern that rights protection could not keep up with the speed of the products showing up. Bandai Namco took measures with Unfair Competition Prevention Act to seek a temporary punishment for import injunctions from overseas.
To more seriously get ahead of these measures to protect the Tamagotchi intellectual property, in 1998 a professional team for intellectual property was established.
Takayuki Okazaki mentions that Bandai Namco took very strategic counterfeit measures in 2004 after the release of the Tamagotchi Connection. The Tamagotchi Connection was announced 4 months before the release, and the specific shape was deliberately hidden to ensure the imitations could not be made sooner. Bandai Namco also applied for import injunction, which are court orders halting the importation of specifics goods due to issues with intellectual property infringements at customs in advance. As a result of these measures the distribution of counterfeit goods was significantly suppressed.
Lastly, Takayuki Okazaki reviews how Bandai Namco plans to fight counterfeit products and protecting of intellectual property in the era of arterial intelligence.
This is a really interesting article, and if you love to read about business we highly recommend you check it out here.
Copyright law has created an ideology that fetishizes originality.
Actually, fanfic is valuable art. So are fan songs. And The Birth of Venus. And every myth and legend pulling from existing lore or characters.
The idea that your story or other art shouldn't make generous use of other peoples' concepts is a relatively new one.
And to be very clear: This concept exists to make it easier for the rich to get richer. So that you have to buy art from the people who have a monopoly on using those ideas.
I do not want a connection that simply brims.
I want a love that echoes in the passage of time. That takes notes in the margins of my silences, memorizes the cadence of my quiet. That lingers not for the warmth of my body, but for the architecture of my thoughts—the labyrinthine halls of very being, dimly lit by longing, waiting to be known.
Let us meet, not in the frenzy of skin on skin, but in the cathedral of our minds—where your philosophy touches mine like prayer, where we undress one another not with fingers, but with words and hopes and the intangible extractions of our unsaid exploits.
Is it not the most sacred act, to be read deeply?
I do not want possession—I want presence. Your eyes on me like a scholar, your voice in conversation like candlelight.
Soft.
Careful.
Eternally curious.
Unravel me like a question you want to live the answer to.

Oh yeah I've never really posted my @waterparks art on here, or about my hyperfixation (thank the gods for them post election holy fucking shit). I have one really good (imo) drawing of Awsten. Here it is.
