Contract — Tokyo District Court, 2023 (Wa) 70422 (Sugiura)
* An assignment of copyright was found despite the absence of a written agreement.
“In light of the relationship between the plaintiff association and Plaintiff A, … the absence of documentation … cannot be regarded as unreasonable. … Even if the consideration paid was considerably low as consideration for an assignment of copyright, … it does not necessarily follow … that no assignment of copyright occurred.”
