FTC appeals its loss to Microsoft in Activision Blizzard case

Earlier this week, a judge ruled in favor of Microsoft in its fight with the FTC.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says it is appealing a recent US federal court order that cleared the way for Microsoft to purchase Activision Blizzard. The FTC has filed a notice that it’s appealing Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley’s decision, but we won’t know the regulator’s arguments until the full appeal is submitted to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
