The General Court of the European Union confirmed today the European Commission's decision not to consider the Microsoft Edge web browser as an important gateway, under the Digital Markets Regulation.
The case involves Microsoft as the company in question and the European Commission as the regulatory authority that made the initial decision.
The Digital Markets Regulation establishes criteria for identifying companies that function as "gateways" to essential digital services, subjecting them to specific obligations.
The court's confirmation means that Microsoft will not have to comply with the more rigorous obligations imposed by the regulation on companies classified as gatekeepers.
