Intel's €1.06 Billion Antitrust Fine Overturned by EU Court

Intel has successfully overturned a €1.06 billion antitrust fine imposed by the European Union for abuse of dominance, dating back to 2009.

The court found that Intel's conditional rebates to computer manufacturers did not constitute anti-competitive behavior. However, Intel still faces repercussions, as the 2022 ruling deemed its practices of paying PC makers to delay rival chip production as unlawful, resulting in a subsequent fine of approximately $400 million.
