The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has had what may be its final attempt to block Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard denied.
Just hours after US District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, who presided over the main case, rejected the FTC‘s initial motion to appeal against this week’s Microsoft and Activision Blizzard ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals had similarly shut down a request for emergency relief.
“The motion for injunctive relief is denied,” the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals filing states. “The existing briefing schedule remains in effect.”
