Court denies AMD bid for Intel docs

WASHINGTON: A federal judge has rejected a bid by chip maker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. to require rival Intel Corp. to turn over U.S. documents for use in a European investigation, according to a decision.

U.S. District Judge James Ware, denied a motion by AMD to force Intel, the world's largest microchip maker, to produce documents from an old antitrust case for the European Commission to use as it investigates AMD's complaint that Intel has abused its dominant market power in Europe.
