Oracle hostile takeover and antitrust dispute
Oracle’s attempt to acquire PeopleSoft generated a major corporate-control and competition dispute. PeopleSoft resisted the bid and adopted customer-protection provisions, while the U.S. Department of Justice sought to block the transaction on antitrust grounds. The U.S. case was rejected in 2004, and European regulatory review also did not prevent the acquisition.
