JFTC Guidelines

The JFTC Guidelines are rules issued by Japan’s Fair Trade Commission to promote fair competition among businesses. They clarify how the JFTC evaluates potential anti-competitive practices, such as cartels or abuse of market dominance. The guidelines aim to prevent unfair behaviors that could harm consumers or other companies, while allowing healthy competition to foster innovation and efficiency. By following these guidelines, businesses can understand what is considered legitimate conduct and avoid actions that might lead to legal penalties or damage their reputation. Essentially, they provide a framework for maintaining a fair and competitive marketplace.
