TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese designer who has been accused of plagiarism for his Tokyo 2020 Olympics logo said on Thursday he had asked a beer company to withdraw some of his designs due to new accusations of copyright infringement.
Belgian designer Olivier Debie said in July the official logo for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics was too similar to his design for the Theatre de Liege, but designer Kenjiro Sano denied any plagiarism. Debie said he would take legal action.
