After losing the federal court battle, the FTC has filed a note that states it will be looking to appeal the decision.
What a roller coaster this acquisition has been so far. While a lot of regions and trade commissions around the world seem to be fine with Microsoft’s mega $68.7 billion Activision Blizzard King merger, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority is less keen to approve the deal, a choice that seemed to see the UK standing alone following the US’ Federal Trade Commission losing its legal proceeding recently. However, it looks like the FTC isn’t going down without a fight.
As noted by The Verge, the FTC has filed a notice that states it will be appealing Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley’s decision to approve the deal, but as for the arguments it will be posing come this time, that has yet to be mentioned and won’t be mentioned until the full appeal is submitted.
