Intel is now charged by a federal lawsuit due to the impact of doing illegal threats to lead microchip sales. The attorney general of New York accuses Intel for doing bribery and coercion in order to make the computer manufacturers to buy its chips against his competitors. The investigation followed by the anti-competition federal lawsuit enduring almost two years, said by Andrew Cuomo. However Intel revealed the statement that the file suit taken against them is completely wrong. It also added that its products are consistently benefited the customers by low prices and enhanced innovation, which doesn’t need to do any bribery and there is no need to file a case against them.
Though Intel is not accepting the lawsuit maid against the company, but already Intel has been fined by European Competition authorities for $1.5bn (£948m). Cuomo said that Intel is the world’s largest semiconductors manufacturer company has the illegal conduct with worldwide systematic campaign. He also added that instead of fighting with against the rivals, Intel does bribery and coercion to lead a sales market. The illegal action done by the Intel not only blocked the potential competitors but also makes damage to the average consumers who were deprived for good products and lower prices. The main thing that makes Intel to be accused is paying million of dollars and even billions in past some years to the computer manufacturers and exchanges them to buy their chips.
The president of trade body computer and communications industry association Mr. Ed Black had said that Mr. Cuomo has filed a strong case against the bribery and coercion done by the Intel organization. He also added that the Intel will need to take action quicker to save him along with entire computer Industry. The main thing that to be notable here is, in the European case it states that Intel had paid some large amount of money for the manufacturers and retailers to favor its chips against the key competitor Advanced Micro devices within 2002 and 2007.
