Not even a full day after appealing its loss in the Microsoft Activision court case, the US Federal Trade Commission is pushing for a new, temporary injunction which would stop the deal from closing until its appeal receives a ruling.
A new motion for injunction pending appeal was filed earlier today, July 13, with the FTC calling on the court to stop Microsoft from closing the Activision deal until it can finish its review of the merger, which is separate from this case and still ongoing. "In the alternative," the FTC adds, it's seeking an injunction until its pending appeal is evaluated by the court.
