The Department of Justice is planning to launch a case against Google, alleging that the company has engaged in anticompetitive conduct in how it distributes Google Search on smartphones and browsers. The case is likely to be a landmark in US jurisprudence and ICLE will be providing analysis on it as it progresses.
