Alphabet has preemptively paid damages to the US government, aiming to avoid a jury trial in the Justice Department's antitrust lawsuit over Google's digital advertising business.
Google claims the payment covers alleged overcharges on digital ads and argues against the government's right to a jury trial, citing the case's technical nature.
Stanford Law School's Mark Lemley doubts Google's preemptive move will succeed, suggesting it reflects Google's concerns about a potential jury decision in the antitrust case.
