Abstract
June 28, 2026 will mark the 25th anniversary of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in United States v. Microsoft. In anticipation of that anniversary this conference will consider Microsoft’s impact on the development of U.S. monopoly law and policy, its influence on the economic analysis of digital markets, and its durable legacy. Although the Microsoft decision had limited impact at first, the case now stands at the center of an unprecedented wave of private and public antitrust challenges to some of today’s largest technology firms. Understanding and evaluating how Microsoft has affected these challenges will be the central focus of this conference.
This event is presented by New York University School of Law. Event time is 8:00 a.m. - 5:45 p.m. ET, 7:00 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. CT.
