WCH Tokyo 25 Intellectual property

 

Intellectual property protection

The intellectual property including “Official Marks (Event logo and mascot etc.)” related to the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25 (WCH Tokyo 25) are protected by the Trademark Act, the Copyright Act, the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, and other laws and regulations and may not be used freely. Any use of the “Official Marks” requires the approval of the World Athletics (WA).

 

Ambush marketing

Those who are not sponsors or other right holders are prohibited from using the “Official Marks” or suggesting association with the WCH Tokyo 25 or the WA without permission. These practices, known as ambush marketing, not only infringe intellectual property rights, but may also seriously impede the preparation and organisation of the WCH Tokyo 25 through reduced marketing revenues.

 

In order to prevent ambush marketing, the Local Organising Committee of the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25 has developed the ‘World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25 Rights Protection Public Guidelines’. Please refer to the guidelines and help us protect intellectual property and prevent ambush marketing.
