IP in the Animation Industry: Special Screening of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba”As time moves on and the circle of intellectual property (IP) evolves, we fondly reflect on the special screening of the much-anticipated “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” movie on March 17, 2024, in New Delhi. This event, hosted by JETRO, celebrated the Indo-Japan relationship through a shared love for cinema and showcased the expansive range of IP in the animation industry.
The screening offered an unforgettable experience for anime fans, highlighting how animated works can bridge cultures and foster international connections. Notable attendees Amaya Singh and Joginder Singh engaged with fellow anime enthusiasts, sparking vibrant discussions about creativity and innovation in animation. This event not only served to spotlight the phenomenal success of “Demon Slayer” but also emphasised the importance of protecting IP rights within the animation sector. As anime continues to rise in popularity globally, safeguarding the creative aspects—from character designs to storylines—ensures that creators can maximise their work’s potential while sharing their art with the world.
Special thanks to JETRO for organising such a delightful event and for nurturing cultural exchange between Japan and India. It’s through initiatives like this that we can celebrate creativity while navigating the complexities of IP in animation
