This 10-week trial against Google featured testimonies from Google executives and others outside the company, such as Apple. The trial is presided over by US District Judge Amit Mehta, and a ruling is not expected until early 2024. This ruling will determine whether Google violated any laws in its pursuit of search engine dominance.
If the court rules against Google, the consequences may not be financial penalties but orders that could significantly impact its position as the leading search engine, which currently accounts for over nine in every ten online searches.
