US EditionStates Challenge Google Antitrust Ruling
- A coalition of states and the DOJ filed a cross-appeal to the D.C. Circuit today, challenging the December 5, 2025, final judgment in the Google search monopoly case.
- Because the district court rejected a Chrome divestiture, the DOJ filed a cross-appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals, arguing remedies are too limited.
- The judgment bars exclusivity, including for generative AI products, and sets a 12-month limit on defaults, per Judge Amit P. Mehta's order.
- The appeals process is likely to take about a year before the D.C. Circuit rules after a year-long remedies phase with witnesses from Google, Apple and others, and a successful cross-appeal could revive forced Chrome sale remedies though Alphabet Inc. can keep appealing.
- Several major publishers have sued Google in New York, alleging its ad-server and exchange dominance depressed revenues; they seek orders to bar tying and compensatory damages, citing Advance's 200 million users and SheMedia's 1,800 websites.
