Intel Corp. v. European Commission

European Union Court of Justice
Case C-413/14 P, ECLI:EU:C:2017:632 (2017)

Facts

Intel Corporation (plaintiff), a United States corporation, allegedly entered anticompetitive agreements with computer manufacturers under which the manufacturers agreed to use Intel chips in their computers rather than chips made by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), another United States corporation and Intel’s main competitor. The European Commission (commission) (defendant) investigated and ultimately fined Intel approximately $1.25 billion dollars for engaging in anticompetitive conduct. Intel filed a petition in the European General Court to challenge the commission’s jurisdiction to apply European competition law to Intel’s conduct. In particular, Intel argued that the commission lacked jurisdiction regarding certain agreements between Intel and Lenovo, a Chinese company, that were entered into in China and concerned chips that Intel manufactured in Taiwan and provided to Lenovo in China for use in computers to be made and sold in Asia. Applying the qualified-effects test, the General Court concluded that the commission had jurisdiction because the agreements were part of a broader scheme that would prevent Lenovo computers with AMD chips from being available on the European market. The General Court therefore dismissed Intel’s petition. Intel appealed to the European Union Court of Justice.
