SETTLEMENT RESOLVES RFG PATENT MESS, CLEARS CHEVRON'S BUY OF UNOCAL

摘要

Unocal will stop enforcing its RFG patents and release them to the public, according to a settlement reached with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The consent order, issued as part of Chevron's acquisition of the upstream oil company, settles the only anti-competitive aspect of the 18 billion deal and resolves the FTC's case against Unocal.
