Regarding “Suya Sweets Nyanko Cushion”, we filed an import injunction petition with the Japanese customs office based on design rights from 2018, and we are proceeding with border crackdowns. We have been requesting suspension of sales each time. However, as counterfeit products are spreading not only in Japan but also in other countries around the world, we filed an administrative investigation request against the manufacturer.
