  • The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued its remedies decision in an antitrust case brought against Google by a bipartisan coalition of 38 AGs and the DOJ.
  • This decision follows the court’s 2024 finding that Google violated the Sherman Act by maintaining a monopoly in the markets for general search services and general text advertising through exclusive distribution agreements with major tech companies.
  • Under the remedies decision, Google is barred from entering into or maintaining exclusive contracts related to the distribution of Google Search, Chrome, Google Assistant, and the Gemini app; Google must provide certain competitors with access to search index and user-interaction data; and Google must offer certain competitors access to its search and search text ads syndication services, among other remedies.
  • We previously reported on the submission of the proposed final judgement by the AGs and DOJ.
