CORECATIS Significantly Strengthens Legal Framework and Launches "Defamation and Legal Action Response Team" as of May 1

CORECATIS Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Daiki Takahashi), a leading virtual liver production and management company, announced a significant reinforcement of its legal framework in response to its expanding business and evolving industry environment.

Since April 2026, the company has entered into a new advisory agreement with Monolith Law Office, which possesses strong expertise in IT/Internet law and reputational risk management. Furthermore, on May 1, 2026, the company established an internal "Defamation and Legal Action Response Team" to promote an environment where affiliated talents can operate safely and sustainably.

Background of Legal Reinforcement CORECATIS has previously received comprehensive corporate legal support through an advisory contract with VSG Law Firm. However, with the market expansion of the virtual liver industry, more advanced and specialized legal support has become essential, including the protection of intellectual property (IP), complex contract schemes, and measures against online rights infringements. To address these needs, CORECATIS decided to appoint Monolith Law Office, known for its extensive knowledge in IT and entertainment law, as an additional advisor alongside VSG Law Firm. This dual-firm system aims to contribute to the healthy development of the virtual liver industry through a robust support structure.

Establishment of the "Defamation and Legal Action Response Team" Starting May 1, 2026, a dedicated internal "Defamation and Legal Action Response Team" was established. In collaboration with advisory lawyers, this team will take prompt and firm legal action against the following acts directed at affiliated talents:

[Scope of Response] - Defamation and libel on SNS, anonymous message boards, and video/streaming comment sections. - Privacy infringement, stalking, and offensive behavior threatening physical safety. - Damage to reputation through the spread of false information and obstruction of business. - Any other acts that significantly infringe on the rights of affiliated talents or the agency.

The team will also conduct retroactive investigations and take appropriate measures for incidents that occurred before May 1, 2026.

Message from the CEO of CORECATIS Inc. "At CORECATIS, we prioritize creating a place where talented creators can pursue their dreams with peace of mind. By partnering with Monolith Law Office, a leader in IT law, we have established a seamless system ranging from IP protection to legal defense directly linked to talent mental care. With the powerful backup of VSG Law Firm and Monolith Law Office, we will create the future of entertainment together with our fans."
