Intel has asked the European Union's second highest court for more time to respond to EU charges that it paid a retailer to favor PCs using its computer chips. The Commission issued charges against the world's biggest chipmaker in July, alleging that the U.S. company had paid a retailer to refrain from selling computers with chips made by competitor Advanced Micro Devices.
Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy said the company has filed an appeal with the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg related to the charges. "This is a procedural issue. The specifics of the filing are confidential but Intel has taken this step in order to insure that it has the ability to conduct a full and fair defense of the company. We believe this is a fundamental fairness issue," Mulloy said.
