Google’s antitrust case won’t go to trial until September, 2023

SAN RAMON: The US government’s attempt to prove Google has been using its dominance of online search to stifle competition and innovation at the expense of consumers and advertisers won’t go to trial for nearly three years.
US District Judge Amit Mehta set a tentative trial date of Sept. 12, 2023 for the landmark case that the Justice Department filed two months ago.
“This dispels the notion that we would go to trial quickly,” said Mehta during a conference call with government and Google lawyers to go over the ground rules for exchanging confidential documents and deposing top Google executives.
He estimated that once the trial begins it will last about 5 1/2 weeks in his Washington, D.C., courtroom.
