Chipmaker Nvidia has filed a lawsuit against European Commission regulators for going beyond restrictions on its ability to investigate small deals, regarding its acquisition of Run:ai.
The case was filed with the EU's second-highest court, the General Court, and could potentially impact the Commission's control over mergers and acquisitions.
Nvidia argues that the Commission's decision to investigate the acquisition breached principles of institutional balance, legal certainty, proportionality, and equal treatment.
Regulators globally are concerned about dominant players like Nvidia acquiring start-ups in the AI industry and consolidating market power.
