Piles of Evidence Delay Intel Antitrust Trial

Posted Jun 6, 08 11:45 AM CDT in Technology 

(Newser) – With countless documents and hundreds of witnesses to sort through, chip maker Advanced Micro Devices’ antitrust lawsuit against Intel won’t begin until 2010 at the earliest, the Wall Street Journal reports. AMD has long accused Intel of corrupt business practices; the delay comes after a Korean court ruled that the PC giant had offered millions in rebates to computer makers for not buying from AMD.

The case is likely to generate more documents than any other US civil case ever has, including millions of emails that Intel recovered after saying they were lost. Outside companies are now working to access the rest of the missing emails, an Intel rep said, but an AMD lawyer called the delay a “serious lapse.”

    Intel Suit Exposes 'Squishy' Antitrust Laws Washington's probe into Intel exposed just how "squishy" antitrust issues can be, Joe Nocera writes in the New York Times. What rival chipmaker AMD has called "predatory behavior" can also be seen as "good old-fashioned competition. What makes antitrust so maddening is that the answer depends as much on who is asking the question—and where—as it does on the evidence," Nocera writes. More »
