Today, Microsoft filed forthe European Union’s (EU) approval regardingtheir recent purchase of LinkedIn for $26.2 billion.Recently, Salesforce moved to block Microsoft’sacquisition of LinkedIn in the EU, citing antitrust issues. In a statement, Salesforce Chief Legal Officer Burke Norton said the sale would make Microsoft “anticompetitive” and “threatens the future of innovation and competition.” Salesforce believes that the sale would also give Microsoft an “unfair competitive advantage.”
Microsoft company spokesperson Robin Koch stated, “We [Microsoft] filed today.” The European Commission has until November 22, 2016, to view the case and decide whether or not any action needs to be taken. Microsoft’s purchase of LinkedIn has already been approved by government antitrust regulators in the United States, Canada, and Brazil.
