The Japan Fair Trade Commission (公正取引委員会, Kōsei Torihiki Iinkai, JFTC) is the
Antimonopoly Act
. Headed by a chairman, the commission is commonly known as Kōtori (公取) or Kōtorii (公取委).
Actions
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]
