I just saw that. Interesting. I don't know if it will change something. Like it's only the Tokyo District Court.

I expect it to just be a case of a corpo being slapped in the wrist and nothing happens next. Like how Google and YouTube's got sued and lost a few times and then we never hear what became of it.
