ICLE Academic Affiliate Edmund Kitch was the subject of a Q&A interview with UVAToday about the recent U.S. District Court order in the Google search antitrust case. You can read the full piece here.
Q. Can you describe the ruling?
A. It’s a very long and detailed opinion. It applies conventional antitrust analysis, including (federal) circuit opinions, in a pretty straightforward manner and concludes that Google is in violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act. It does not discuss the remedy. I assume there’s going to be a further proceeding in which the judge will enter a final decree including a remedy, which may be the real sticking point. It could take years.
