ArsTechnica reports that Intel has rejected the EU deadline in their antitrust case and is rejecting the process. Playing tough but one wonders how this will work out in their favor: According (PDF) to the Official Journal of the European Union, Intel wants the EC to pay for all its court costs, extend the filing deadline to 30 days after Intel receives certain documents it's seeking, and annul two previous decisions in the case. Santa Clara claims that its ability to defend itself has been weakened by the EC's refusal to grant it access to certain documents AMD has filed as evidence in the case. It argues that the Commission's Hearing Officer (roughly analogous to a judge) acted improperly when he ruled that Intel did not need access to these documents in order to mount a vigorous defense.
