In response to the Notice of Commitment Procedures which the Japan Fair Trade Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “JFTC”) issued to Nihon Medi-Physics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Nihon Medi-Physics”) on January 15, 2020 because the JFTC suspected that activities by Nihon Medi-Physics violated the Article 3 (Private Monopolization) or the Article 19 (paragraph 14 [Interference with a Competitor’s Transactions]) of the Antimonopoly Act, Nihon Medi-Physics made an Application for Commitment Approval. The JFTC recognized that the Commitment Plan would conform to the Approval Requirements and approved it on March 11 of that year.
Note that this Approval of the Commitment Plan does not represent the determination that the activities of Nihon Medi-Physics constituted the violation of the Antimonopoly Act.
