"Lawyers for Google and the Justice Department will return to a federal courthouse in Alexandria, VA for a roughly two-week trial about how to restore competition to the advertising technology markets that Google illegally monopolized. It comes just weeks after DC District Court Judge Amit Mehta - who issued a historic ruling deeming Google a monopoly in online search - delivered his prescription for restoring competition to the online search market."
"Eastern District of Virginia Judge Leonie Brinkema - who also ruled Google to be a monopolist in two advertising technology markets - is not bound to Mehta's decision. But she's undoubtedly paid attention to it. Still, there's reason for the DOJ to believe it could get a different outcome in the ad tech case when it comes to its request to break up Google."
Federal prosecutors will return to a federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia for a roughly two-week trial seeking remedies to restore competition in advertising technology markets that a judge found Google illegally monopolized. A separate judge recently found Google to be a monopoly in online search but declined major remedies such as ordering a Chrome sale or blocking paid prime distribution. Judge Leonie Brinkema, who found monopolistic conduct in two ad tech markets, is not bound by that search ruling. The DOJ requests that Brinkema require Google to sell its AdX exchange and open source the auction logic after finding AdX tied to DoubleClick for Publishers.
