Press statement IOC regarding emblem Tokyo 2020

“The Théâtre de Liège, copyright holder of its logo (economic rights), has decided to waive the pending procedure in Liège against the IOC. After examining the pleas and evidence submitted by the IOC and the definitive withdrawal of Mr. Sano’s logo, the Theâtre de Liège acknowledges that the disputed emblem, regardless of any similarity with its logo, is not breaching its rights. This way the parties put an end to any controversy related to this matter.”
