Antitrust laws (also known as Antitrust laws) by the US Department of Justice
Investigations into violations are generally conducted in the following stages, with Nvidia in the "2" stage.
1. Information gathering and confirmation of suspicions
Initial information gathering: The Ministry of Justice collects information on suspected violations of antitrust laws through consumer complaints, reports from competitors, industry trends, or media reports, and conducts preliminary investigations.
2. Commencement of formal investigation
Order for document submission: When suspicions are strengthened, the Ministry of Justice issues an order for the submission of documents to the target company. The company is obligated to submit all relevant documents and electronic data, and if necessary, relevant personnel may be summoned as witnesses.
3. Detailed investigation and evidence collection
Internal investigation within the company is conducted, and emails, documents, accounting records, etc., are thoroughly checked. External evidence: Testimony and documents from competitors, customers, and suppliers are also collected.
4. Consultation with the Ministry of Justice
Lensberg consultation: During the investigation, the company may engage in discussions with the Ministry of Justice and may admit to the violation and reach a settlement, allowing the company to avoid prosecution by paying a fine.
5. Filing a Lawsuit
If a settlement cannot be reached, the Department of Justice will prosecute for antitrust violations.
6. Judgment and Subsequent Actions
The court will determine whether a company has violated antitrust laws, and if a violation is found, the company can appeal if they are dissatisfied with the judgment.

Kimihiko OP : The US Department of Justice has requested evidence of antitrust violations from Nvidia and has ordered the submission of documents, indicating a full-scale antitrust investigation. Nvidia's stock has also plummeted in after-hours trading. The department had previously sent a questionnaire, but this time they have made a legally binding request. The US Department of Justice is concerned that Nvidia is making it difficult to switch to other suppliers and is treating buyers who do not exclusively buy AI semiconductors from the company unfairly.
JUNCHAN1119 : By the way, weren't there similar incidents in France?
コレ君 : Thank you for the information. I appreciate it.
涼しいダーリヤ_5921 Kimihiko OP : Every company is competing in the market to excel over other companies. If you want to consider the ease of customers switching to other companies, for example, you can make your own chip app (with high development costs) compatible with chips from other manufacturers. Other companies will take advantage of it for free. Positively speaking, it's coexistence and mutual prosperity. Negatively speaking, efforts will not be rewarded.

If there is no hard work, it will decline.
Draw a beard... Intel
I have to say good luck AMD
Both companies can't beat NB after all
It's not that NB is bad, it doesn't create competitors
There is no point in spin-off due to constitution
