Google has failed to convince a California judge to dismiss a lawsuit accusing the tech giant of monopolizing the online search market, according to Reuters. U.S. District Judge Rita Lin, based in San Francisco, ruled on Thursday that consumers could move forward with allegations that Google’s business practices stifled the emergence of high-quality rival search engines.
The lawsuit, originally filed in 2022, centers on claims that Google unlawfully collaborated with Apple to secure its position as the default search engine on Apple devices. Judge Lin dismissed some aspects of the lawsuit, including claims tied to Google’s text advertising practices, and ruled that Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and former executive Eric Schmidt could not be named as defendants.
Google has consistently denied any wrongdoing and did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the latest ruling. Apple, notably, is not named as a defendant in the case.
