| Objective of Foundation and form of business | |
|
In Japan, with the exception of some specific industries, handling intellectual property including copyrights as a business is not yet prominent. However, we believe it very important not only to protect, but to add property value to items published, created and produced. This is something that has great meaning in promoting the human being's manifestation of creativity.
In recent years, companies have become global and borderless. Under such circumstances, the weight of intellectual properties that copyrights hold is increasing. In the publishing world, the rights regarding copyrights are becoming more and more complicated, for example, the rights for publication and the right for reproduction of merchandise, images, digital usage, and promotion are handled separately from the beginning. In such an age, Medialynx aims to be a company that protects the various rights of the owner of the copyright, and at the same time contribute to the development of culture and the society. The current publishing world has many issues to overcome besides the copyright issue. i.e. resale price, distribution revolution. Considering publishing as one area of the licensing business, Medialynx hopes to keep eyes wide open towards the world and work to finding a new state for publication. With such visions in mind, Medialynx Japan Co., Ltd. was founded in November 1997, aiming to become a new form of business in the 21st Century, and to produce intellectual property by bringing together publications and other industries. |
