Corning proposes contract changes to settle EU antitrust investigation over market dominance in device glass.

Corning, the maker of Gorilla Glass, is proposing changes to its contracts to settle an EU antitrust investigation. The EU suspects Corning of using exclusive deals to dominate the market for Alkali-AS Glass, used in electronic devices. Corning's proposed changes include waiving exclusivity clauses, not forcing purchase volumes, and basing patent claims solely on infringement. The EU is seeking public feedback for six weeks before deciding if these commitments, valid for nine years, are acceptable. If approved, Corning could avoid hefty fines.
