EU Court Dismisses Antitrust Claims Against Microsoft

In Omnis Group v. Commission, a European Union court upheld the European Commission’s refusal to pursue a Romanian software company’s antitrust complaint against Microsoft Corp. The company accused Microsoft of using software licensing deals with Romanian government to monopolize enterprise application software in the Romanian market.  The EC rejected Omnis’ complaint and declined to open an in-depth investigation, because Microsoft held a low share of the market for the software at issue and little evidence supported Omnis’ claims.  The EC further found that vigorous competition existed and barriers to entry are low.
