The Japan Fair Trade Commission
On July 13, 2004, the commission asked Microsoft to remove a clause which it thinks is hurting activities of Japanese companies getting licenses of Microsoft Windows from Microsoft. Microsoft had previously faced another action from the JFTC when Japanese manufacturers were forced to include Microsoft Word on new systems instead of homegrown word processor software Ichitaro.[1]
In March 2024, the JFTC accused Nissan of violating the Subcontractor Act by underpaying dozens of suppliers by some 3 billion yen ($20.26 million).[2]
In November 2024, the commission reportedly raided Amazon Japan's corporate offices as part of an investigation into potential violations of the Antimonopoly Act.[3]
