WASHINGTON, United States—The US government on Tuesday accused Google of paying out $10 billion a year to Apple and other
The accusation came on the opening day of a landmark trial that is the biggest antitrust case in the United States in more than two decades.
“Google has for decades innovated and improved its search engine, plaintiffs escape this inescapable truth,” Google’s lawyer John Schmidtlein argued before the court. The Google case centers on the government’s contention that the tech titan unfairly gained its domination of online search by forging exclusivity contracts with device makers, mobile operators and other companies that left rivals no chance to compete.
“Through this feedback loop, this wheel has been turning for more than 12 years. It always turns to Google’s advantage,” Dintzer said. “This court cannot intervene in the market and say ‘Google you are not allowed to compete.’ That is anathema to US antitrust law,” Google’s Schmidtlein said.
