FTC appeal denied, as Microsoft's Activision acquisition nears completion
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has seen its initial appeal against this week's Microsoft and Activision Blizzard ruling promptly denied.
US District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, who presided over the main case, rejected the FTC's call for an appeal late last night.
With this avenue now closed, the FTC has subsequently launched a new push for a "temporary pause" on Microsoft's $68.7bn Activision Blizzard acquisition, Reuters has reported, this time with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
