Chipmaker Intel achieved a significant victory on Thursday in its ongoing legal battle with European Union competition regulators. The EU's highest court upheld a previous ruling that overturned a billion-euro antitrust fine imposed on Intel more than a decade ago. The European Commission's appeal against the decision was dismissed by the Court of Justice, the top antitrust authority in the 27-nation bloc.
The Court of Justice stated that it rejected all grounds of appeal put forth by the Commission, as outlined in a press release summarizing the judgment. In response to the ruling, Intel expressed satisfaction, stating that it is pleased to finally conclude this chapter of the case.
