According to a report from Reuters, Japan’s Fujifilm Holdings has won an appeal in its legal battles with Xerox, with a New York court overturning preliminary injunctions requested by an activist investor that had blocked their planned merger.
Xerox in May scrapped a US$6.1 billion deal with Fujifilm in a settlement with investors Carl Icahn and Darwin Deason that also handed control of the US photocopier giant to new management.
