Microsoft @ 25: Impact, Influence, and Legacy symposium: Closing Wrap-up: In A New York Minute
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, at this symposium, NYU School of Law and Hausfeld LLP examined 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 was the central focus of this conference.
Closing Wrap-up: In A New York Minute: Harry First and Andrew Gavil closed our conference with reflections on the legacy of United States v. Microsoft and its implications for the future of antitrust enforcement.
