Microsoft files an appeal against the EU fine

US based software industry giant Microsoft has confirmed that they have filed an appeal against a 280.5 million Euro fine levied on them by the European Union.

This fine was imposed on the company for defying the 2004 antitrust ruling, which claimed that the company misuses its position in the market to harm the competition.

A company spokesperson said in a statement: “As Microsoft said in July, we would appeal the fines imposed on the company at that time. The deadline for the appeal was October 2.”

Microsoft filed this appeal in the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg, which is the second highest European Union court.
