The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-1 on Monday that confidential Intel documents can be turned over to European antitrust officials, dealing a setback to the chipmaker.
The case arose out of an antitrust complaint that Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Intel's archrival, filed with the European Union's Directorate-General for Competition. AMD recommended that the EU seek documents that Intel had filed in an unrelated private antitrust case in an Alabama federal court. After the EU chose not to follow that advice, AMD unsuccessfully asked a federal district court in California to order Santa Clara-based Intel to turn over the documents. The 9th Circuit, however, overturned that decision, saying Intel should be required to disclose the information.
