Legal Insights on Resale Issues and Corporate Risks from First & Tandem Sprint Law Office

Legal Insights on Resale Issues and Corporate Risks



On September 12, 2025, the economic program "Nikkei Morning Plus FT" aired on BS TV Tokyo, featuring attorney Tomohiro Ono from the First & Tandem Sprint Law Office. The episode focused on the growing concern of resale issues and the various risks they pose to businesses. The discussion highlighted instances, including the resale problem involving Pokemon cards bundled with McDonald's Happy Meals and the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, showcasing the tangible risks associated with such practices.

During his appearance, Mr. Ono elaborated on three primary risks faced by companies due to resale activities:
1. Brand Damage Risk: Reselling products at inflated prices can harm a company's reputation, leading to consumer distrust.
2. Social Credibility Risk: Selling limited products exclusively through resale can lead consumers to question a company's credibility and fairness.
3. Loss of Business Opportunities: Companies may miss out on potential revenue due to products being resold before they reach intended customers.

In response to these alarming trends, the First & Tandem Sprint Law Office has launched a new service named "Resale Support Service," aimed at safeguarding brand value and customer trust. This service provides a comprehensive legal solution, assisting enterprises with strategy development and concrete legal measures to combat resale issues. The service combines three pillars of effective risk management: contracts, systems, and industry collaboration—creating a robust framework for tackling these complex challenges.
