  • A bipartisan group of 38 AGs and the U.S. DOJ obtained a ruling in their favor from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in their antitrust suit against Google LLC.
  • As previously reported, Google allegedly engaged in a campaign to control the digital advertising technologies industry through anticompetitive and monopolistic conduct, in violation of the Sherman Act.
  • According to the Opinion, the court held that Google violated the Sherman Act by maintaining a monopoly in the markets for general search services and general text advertising through its exclusive distribution agreements with major tech and mobile companies. The court entered judgment for Google as to the government’s claims that Google engaged in exclusionary conduct regarding its proprietary search engine management tool, SA360.
  • The court will address remedies at a later proceeding.
