Nov 7 (Reuters) - Amazon.com's (AMZN.O) top lawyer on Tuesday previewed the broad outlines of the company's possible defense against the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's antitrust lawsuit against the retailer, at a private companywide meeting. The lawsuit, which was joined by 17 state attorneys general, was filed in federal court in Seattle and follows a four-year investigation into the company's practices. The FTC takes "issue with us refusing to show prices that are higher than our biggest competitors," Zapolsky said on Tuesday, according to the transcript. "It’s not that we don’t let customers sell at these prices, we just don’t feature that product at that price." Amazon has said it disagrees with the FTC and would defend itself in court.

The lawsuit, which was joined by 17 state attorneys general, was filed in federal court in Seattle and follows a four-year investigation into the company's practices. The agency asked the court to issue a permanent injunction ordering Amazon to stop what it called unlawful conduct. Amazon has said it disagrees with the FTC and would defend itself in court. "The whole complaint is based on a very constrained and manufactured view that Amazon is a monopoly," said Zapolsky.
