Corning faces antitrust actions for its Gorilla Glass dominance
European Commission looks into alleged exclusivity, pricing, and patent demands.
The European Commission (EC) has opened an antitrust investigation into US-based glass-maker Corning, claiming that its Gorilla Glass has dominated the mobile phone screen market due to restrictive deals and licensing.
