Japan Issues Microsoft Antitrust Warning
"Software giant Microsoft Corp. received a warning (.pdf) from Japan’s anti-trust regulators about unfair business practices on Tuesday, but the decision did not carry the heavy fines the U.S. firm was given in Europe.
"Japan’s Fair Trade Commission said Microsoft should scrap a provision in its licensing contracts with PC makers that prevents them from filing patent infringement suits if they find Microsoft’s Windows software contains features similar to their own technology."
