Court orders Japan Fair Trade Com'n to dish dirt on Intel

[Bob Crabtree]

Here's the latest news in the on-going saga of AMD's harrassement of Intel through courts around the world for alleged unfair business practices (or at least, AMD's take on it).

TOKYO, Japan — Dec. 16, 2005 — Tokyo District Court today required the disclosure of evidence collected by the Fair Trade Commission of Japan (JFTC) during its investigation of Intel K.K. (“Intel”) for violating the country’s Antimonopoly Act. The evidence, discovered in raids of Intel K.K. offices as well as major Japanese OEM manufacturers in April, 2004, formed the basis of the JFTC’s Recommendation against Intel. Legal counsel for AMD Japan intend to use the JFTC’s evidence as part of its law suit against Intel in Japan, filed June 30th, 2005 (AMD Japan v. Intel K.K.).

Here's the release.
