Hello there, it's great to see you again.

This is Emlex's weekly podcast covering the top regulatory stories of the week.

I'm James Panicki from Emlex's Asia-Pacific team, and it's an honor to be in

your feed once again. Now, Hewlett-Packard is no doubt a brand name that you're familiar with. Well,

the founder and the former chief financial officer

of UK software provider autonomy. It's a fascinating tale of inflated value, an acquisition worth

$11.1 billion US dollars, and a former executives fight to avoid deportation to the United States.

It's got it all, and Martin

from now. First up, though, the seemingly never-ending saga of Intel's battle against a

$1.06 billion-euro antitrust fine imposed by the European Commission.

with an EU court ruling in favour of the US-based semiconductor chip manufacturer.

But is it really over, I hear you ask? Well, not quite. Lewis Crofts is Emlex's editor-in-chief. He's been covering this issue almost

by reminding me why it is that we're still talking about it.

Good question, James.

You know, I was still singing soprano in short trousers when this case started.

And now after, so it started with year 2000 when there was a complaint by AMD, which makes

chips against Intel, the world's biggest chip maker.

So it was at the time.
