European Antitrust Official to Pursue More Injunctions in Tech Cases

Europe’s top competition official said she would make more use of injunctions, including in pending cases against big technology companies, after successfully forcing U.S. chip maker Broadcom Inc. to change its alleged anticompetitive practices. The European Commission, the bloc’s top antitrust watchdog, said it was closing its probe and accepted Broadcom’s legally binding commitments to refrain from any exclusivity arrangements for chips used in television set-top boxes and internet modems over the next seven years.
