HP Enterprise trial on Juniper merger set for July 9

The company states: “On January 30, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California seeking to block the proposed merger of HPE and Juniper (JNPR) Networks, Inc. On February 10, 2025, HPE and Juniper filed answers to the Department of Justice’s complaint disputing those claims. The court set a trial commencement date of July 9, 2025. HPE intends to vigorously defend against the Department of Justice’s overreaching interpretation of antitrust laws and will demonstrate how the transaction will provide customers with greater innovation and choice, positively change the dynamics in the networking market by enhancing competition, and strengthen the backbone of U.S. networking infrastructure.”
