Department of Justice and Plaintiffs File Cross-Appeal in Antitrust Case Against Google

In a recent development, the Department of Justice and the plaintiffs involved in the antitrust case against Google have submitted a cross-appeal. The DOJ Antitrust Division made the announcement, stating that they will be challenging the remedies decisions in the ongoing legal battle concerning Google’s alleged monopolization of internet search and search advertising.

Google Appeals and Requests Pause on Remedies Ordered by DC District Court

Just a few weeks ago, Google took action by filing a notice of appeal and seeking a temporary halt on the remedies mandated by DC District Court Judge Amit Mehta in the previous year. These remedies included directives for Google to share search data with its competitors and to refrain from entering into exclusive distribution agreements for its search or AI products that could impede fair competition. However, Google avoided being compelled to divest its Chrome browser and was not prohibited from compensating distribution partners for prioritizing its search or AI products.

Dissatisfaction with Judge Mehta’s Ruling Leads to DOJ’s Cross-Appeal

The decision by the DOJ to file a cross-appeal indicates that there is mutual dissatisfaction with Judge Mehta’s verdict in the case, particularly regarding the remedies prescribed in September. The ongoing legal battle between the Department of Justice, the plaintiffs, and Google continues to unfold as each party seeks a resolution that aligns with their respective interests.
