>The European Union's top court is sending back a case on a billion euro fine against chip maker Intel Corp. for further legal examination.

>Wednesday's ruling had been eagerly awaited for its implications on the powers of the antitrust office of the EU.

>In 2009, the EU fined Intel Corp. a record 1.06 billion euros, saying the world's biggest computer chip maker used illegal sales tactics to shut out smaller rival AMD.

>The European Commission says Intel broke EU competition law by exploiting its dominant position with a deliberate strategy to keep AMD out of the market that limited customer choice.

>The European Court of Justice sent the case back to the lower General Court so it can examine more arguments from Intel.
