[Unfair Competition Prevention Act, Article 2(7)]
Osaka District Court, Case No. 2025 (Wa) 7894
(Presiding Judge Matsukawa)
1. Pachinko machine payout data (machine data) does not constitute "data for limited provision."
2. Agreement to terms of use and installation of a bot exclusion tool (CT), even if they restrict the method of access, do not limit the "persons" accessing the data and therefore do not satisfy the requirements for "data for limited provision."
An application for an order to disclose sender information was filed under Article 5(1) of the Information Distribution Platform Act on the ground that it was clear that the intervenor, which used the hosting service provided by the defendant, had unlawfully acquired and disclosed machine data provided by the plaintiff to pachinko hall operators, thereby infringing the plaintiff's business rights.
⇒ The original decision dismissing the plaintiff's application for an order to disclose sender information is appropriate.
