UK watchdog decides not to pursue investigation into Microsoft-Mistral deal

British regulators said Friday they don't need to open a competition investigation into Microsoft's partnership with French artificial intelligence company Mistral, a month after asking for industry feedback on the deal.

While the Virginia case focuses on advertising technology, an ongoing case in the District of Columbia focuses on Google's dominance as a search engine. Both sides in the D.C. case have presented evidence and made closing arguments. A judge there will decide whether Google violated the law. Google wants a judge to decide the merits of the case in Virginia, as well. The company argues in court papers filed Thursday that it's unprecedented for a jury to decide a federal ...
