Qualcomm loses court appeal against European Union antitrust penalty in chipset case from 2019
Economic Times

Qualcomm has failed to overturn a $269 million fine from the European Union's General Court. The court dismissed most of Qualcomm's appeal against the penalty for alleged predatory pricing tactics in the cellphone chipset market. The European Commission accused the tech company of selling 3G baseband chipsets below production costs to force a competitor out of the market. The court upheld the fine but reduced it to €238.7 million ($269 million). In a separate case, the General Court overturned a $1.23 billion fine against Qualcomm for alleged bribery of Apple in 2022.

The final judgement of the court is still pending.

Google's parent company, Alphabet, has won its appeal against a 1.49 billion euro antitrust fine imposed by the European Commission. The fine was originally given in 2019 for Google's alleged abuse of its dominance in online search advertising. While the General Court agreed with most of the EU enforcer's assessments of the case, it annulled the fine, stating that all relevant circumstances were not taken into account. This comes shortly after Google lost its appeal against a 2.42 billion euro fine for favoring its own shopping service in search results.

The European Union's second highest court has ruled that EU regulators must pay Qualcomm approximately €785,858 ($851,634) in legal fees, considerably less than the €12 million originally claimed by the US chipmaker. The General Court in Luxembourg deemed the claimed amount to be excessive and found that the number of hours and hourly rates presented in Qualcomm's claim were unreasonable. The legal bill was submitted by Qualcomm after winning an appeal against an antitrust fine imposed by the European Commission in 2018. The court's ruling stated that the requested amount was not adequately substantiated.

Amazon has lost its appeal against a ruling that deemed the company to have infringed UK trademarks by targeting British consumers on its US website. The ruling, issued by London's Court of Appeal in 2022, was upheld by the UK Supreme Court. This judgment is expected to have significant implications for other online retailers, requiring them to ensure that their platforms do not automatically target British consumers. The case was brought forward in 2019 by Lifestyle Equities, the owner of Beverly Hills Polo Club trademarks, accusing Amazon of selling US branded goods to UK consumers via its US website.

An adviser to the European Court of Justice has stated that Google's refusal to allow an e-mobility app developed by Enel access to its Android Auto platform could potentially violate competition rules. The adviser's stance supports the viewpoint of Italy's antitrust authority, which fined Google €102 million ($113.18 million) for allegedly favoring Google Maps while blocking Enel's JuicePass on Android Auto. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is expected to rule on the case in the coming months.

The European Union's antitrust chief, Margrethe Vestager, secured victories in two landmark cases against Apple and Google. These wins back her crackdown on Apple's Irish tax deal and Google's anti-competitive practices. The rulings could empower her successor to pursue similar actions against Big Tech. The court upheld the European Commission's decision to order Apple to pay 13 billion euros in back taxes to Ireland. Apple expressed disappointment with the ruling. The court also rejected Google's appeal against a 2.42 billion euro fine for using its price comparison shopping service to gain an unfair advantage. These rulings cannot be appealed.
