Intel Corp. v. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Summary

The Court held that 28 U.S.C. § 1782(a) authorizes federal district courts to grant discovery assistance to any "interested person," including a complainant before the European Commission, that the foreign proceeding need not be pending, and that there is no foreign‑discoverability requirement; the Ninth Circuit’s judgment was affirmed. Justice Breyer dissented and Justice Scalia concurred in the judgment.
