Japan investigating Apple over abuse of power
- Wednesday | 7th August, 2019
TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s Fair Trade Commission is investigating Apple Inc over its pressure on Japanese parts makers and whether it abused its power in violation of antimonopoly rules, the Mainichi newspaper reported on Tuesday. It also comes as Apple may face more regulatory scrutiny in the United States. When a company called it an infringement of intellectual property rights and demanded a revision, Apple threatened to end their business relationship, the report said. Last year, the FTC investigated Apple over allegations that it unfairly pressured Yahoo Japan Corp to slow the expansion of its online games platform, which competes with Apple’s App store.
