"The trial scheduled to begin Monday in an Alexandria, Virginia, federal court will revolve around the harmful conduct that resulted in U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema declaring parts of Google's digital advertising technology to be an illegal monopoly. The judge found that Google has been engaging in behavior that stifles competition to the detriment of online publishers that depend on the system for revenue."
"Google and the Justice Department will spend the next two weeks in court presenting evidence in a "remedy" trial that will culminate in Brinkema issuing a ruling on how to restore fair market conditions. Although the judge hasn't set a timetable for making that decision, it's unlikely to come down before the end of this year because additional legal briefs and courtroom arguments are expected to extend into November before Brinkema takes the matter under submission."
A remedy trial in Alexandria, Virginia will address harmful conduct that led a judge to declare parts of Google's digital advertising technology an illegal monopoly. The judge found Google engaged in behavior that stifles competition and harms online publishers reliant on ad revenue. Google and the Justice Department will present evidence over two weeks before a ruling on how to restore fair market conditions, with further briefs and arguments likely to delay a decision into November. Google intends to appeal the monopoly finding after the remedy is determined. The Justice Department seeks structural relief, including potential sales of ad-technology components.
