LONDON, July 11 (Reuters) - Britain said on Tuesday it had noted a decision by Microsoft and the country's anti-trust regulator to pause litigation over the software firm's planned acquisition of videogame maker Activision Blizzard.
"We note that the CMA (Competition and Markets Authority) and Microsoft have today put a joint submission to the Competition Appeal Tribunal to pause the litigation in the UK, to prioritise work on proposals from Microsoft to seek to address the CMA’s competition concerns," a government spokesperson said.
“The CMA is an independent body responsible for investigating the impact of mergers and acquisitions." (Reporting by William James)
