Wilson Sonsini Helps Secure EC Clearance of Run:ai’s Acquisition by NVIDIA
On December 20, 2024, the European Commission (EC) unconditionally approved the proposed acquisition of Run:ai Labs by NVIDIA Corporation under the EU Merger Regulation. The EC concluded that the transaction would raise no competition concerns in the European Economic Area (EEA). Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati represented Run:ai in securing the unconditional clearance.
U.S.-based NVIDIA designs and supplies graphic processing units (GPUs), a type of semiconductor for data center applications. Israel-based Run:ai supplies GPU orchestration software allowing corporate customers to schedule, manage, and optimize their AI compute infrastructure. NVIDIA’s proposed acquisition of Run:ai was notified to the EC on November 15 following a referral request from the Italian national competition authority. The EC investigated the impact of the transaction on the markets for the supply of discrete GPUs for use in data centers and GPU orchestration software. It assessed whether, post-transaction, NVIDIA would be able to hamper the compatibility between its GPUs and the GPU orchestration software of Run:ai’s competitors, and the compatibility between Run:ai’s software and the GPUs of NVIDIA’s competitors. The EC concluded that the proposed acquisition would not raise competition concerns in any of the markets examined in the EEA or Italy, and therefore cleared the transaction unconditionally.
The Wilson Sonsini antitrust team that secured the clearance for Run:ai included Jamillia Ferris, Deirdre Carroll, Michelle Hale, Matthew McDonald, Ben Labow, Kimberley Biagioli, Rachel Burke, Lindsey Edwards, Rose Reinacher, John Sack, Laurine Daïnesi Signoret, Dillon Ostlund, Jacob Lozano, Michelle Zang, Sabin Chung, and Rohena Rajbhandari.

"Chevron is overruled": How Loper Bright Will Change the Regulatory Law Landscape
In a decision with far-ranging implications for federal administrative law, the United States Supreme Court issued its long-awaited ruling in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (Loper Bright).1 The Supreme Court’s six-Justice majority held that the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) requires courts interpreting agency regulations to determine independently whether the agencies have acted within their statutory authority, even where the statute at issue is ambiguous. In so holding, the Court overruled its 1984 decision in Chevron USA v. Natural Resources Defense Council, which for the last four decades had governed thousands of cases involving federal agency interpretations of ambiguous laws.
