[Victory for Happy Science] Regarding the Court Ruling on Copyright Infringement of the Old Cover of Hiroshi's Book (Published by Gentosha)

Aug. 1, 2024（Last Update: June 25, 2026）

Happy Science filed a lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court on June 7, 2024, seeking to prohibit the online publication of the old cover portrait illustration of Hiroshi Okawa's book (published by Gentosha), claiming it infringed on Happy Science's copyright. On August 1, 2024, the Tokyo District Court ruled in favor of Happy Science, recognizing that the portrait illustration on the old cover of Hiroshi's book (published by Gentosha) infringed on Happy Science's copyright and ordered the prohibition of its publication, resulting in a complete victory for Happy Science.

Hiroshi, who has repeatedly suffered defeat in lawsuits, should accept this ruling and admit his other defeats and sincerely reflect on his thoughts and actions.
