About this page

This page announces the establishment of the "Abuse of Superior Position Prevention Measures Investigation Division" by the Japan Fair Trade Commission on February 16, 2022. The commission strengthened enforcement regarding abuse of superior positions under the Antimonopoly Act by creating this new division. The division conducts emergency investigations and surveys on transactions between large enterprises and startups to prevent abuse. Additionally, the commission updated its FAQ section to clarify that failing to reflect increases in labor costs, raw materials, and energy costs in transaction prices may constitute antimonopoly violations.
