Intel to reveal foreign info in antitrust case
Advanced Micro Devices won a small victory in its antitrust case Wednesday, prevailing on a dispute about whether Intel would share information from operations outside the United States. Concurring with AMD’s request, a judicially appointed special master overseeing elements of the case had recommended on December 15 that Intel share information from foreign operations in the evidence-gathering process called discovery. On Thursday, Intel said it wouldn’t fight that recommendation.
“While Intel obviously had hoped for a different outcome regarding discovery, Intel of course will comply with the special master’s decision and will respond to discovery as the special master directs,” an Intel attorney said in a letter to the court. Given Intel’s position on foreign discovery, “We expect that to begin immediately,” AMD spokesman Michael Silverman said Thursday. The case is scheduled to go to trial in April 2009, he added.
