AMD says it has scored a significant legal victory in its ongoing antitrust suit against Intel Corporation. In an order effective yesterday, the Federal District Court in Delaware overruled Intel's objections and ordered it, "to produce documents and other evidence bearing upon Intel's exclusionary conduct outside of U.S. borders."
AMD said in a statement that the production of this foreign discovery will contain evidence of "anticompetitive business practices" in clear violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act, as well as "generally accepted anti-monopoly laws worldwide."
"Intel's acquiescence to the Special Master's findings is a big win for AMD," says Thomas M. McCoy, AMD Executive Vice President, Legal Affairs and Chief Administrative Officer. "This case remains firmly focused on the worldwide misbehavior of a global monopolist. This ruling also removes any basis for Intel or its foreign customers to withhold evidence of Intel's exclusion, regardless of where it occurred. We will proceed vigorously to prove that Intel abuses its global monopoly power by limiting or excluding competition, which ultimately hurts consumers worldwide."
