"The Court of Justice upholds the annulment by the General Court of the Commission's decision finding an abuse of a dominant position on the part of Intel and imposing a fine of €1.06 billion on Intel," the court said in a statement.
"Such rebates and payments effectively prevented customers, and ultimately consumers, from choosing alternative products," the Commission said at the time.
"By undermining competitors' ability to compete on the merits of their products, Intel's actions undermined competition and innovation," the Commission argued.
Since then, the case has gone back and forth at a glacial pace. The fine was overturned in 2022 on the basis that the Commission's analysis hadn't been thorough enough to prove that Intel's behavior had harmed competition.
