AMD in Japan v. Intel monopoly claims $55 million

Beijing time on June 30th news, AMD Japanese company filed a lawsuit in Japan today, accusing Intel of violating the Japanese antitrust law, and asked the latter to compensate for the loss. According to a statement issued by AMD AMD, the Japanese company filed a lawsuit in the high court of Tokyo, asked Intel to 50 million dollars in damages; at the same time, AMD Japanese companies filed a lawsuit in Tokyo court, asked Intel to compensation for the loss of millions of dollars. AMD Japanese companies have asked Intel to pay $55 million in total for the reason that the latter has violated the interests of the company in violation of fair competition.

The lawsuit filed by AMD Japan has a lot to do with Japan's Fair Trade Commission's antitrust rulings. In March this year, the Japanese Fair Trade Commission ruled that Intel violated the Japanese anti-monopoly law, the illegal use of their monopoly advantage to limit fair competition. Intel has denied allegations against the company, but promised to make some adjustments to its business model. Earlier this week, AMD filed a lawsuit against the Federal District Court in Delaware, accusing Intel of using illegal means to prevent computer makers from buying AMD processors. Intel denies the allegation.

Masatoshi, a spokesman for Intel, said the company would not comment on the lawsuit filed by the AMD Japanese company until it received a court summons. AMD Yoshizawa, head of Shun, said at a news conference that Intel's commitment to adjust its business model would be equivalent to admitting that it violated antitrust laws.

Shun Yoshizawa said that if there is no monopoly of Intel, AMD can get a lot of business from NEC, Fujitsu, Toshiba, SONY, Hitachi and other companies, this is mainly due to the company in the Tokyo high court claim for $50 million. AMD Japanese company has been in the Tokyo District Court for millions of dollars, mainly because that the Japan Fair Trade Commission ruling in the Intel and other acts of unfair competition, for example, Intel has asked Japan to remove AMD PC manufacturers platform products from the product list and website, the company in exchange for funding.
