A judge rather than a jury will decide whether Google violated federal antitrust laws by building a monopoly on the technology that powers online advertising

FILE - A sign is shown on a Google building at their campus in Mountain View, Calif., on Sept. 24, 2019. On Friday, June 7, 2024, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema ruled that a judge rather than a jury will decide whether Google violated federal antitrust laws by building a monopoly on the technology that powers online advertising. .

But the government's right to a jury trial was based largely on the fact that it sought monetary damages to compensate federal agencies that purchased online ads and claimed they were overcharged as a result of Google's anticompetitive conduct.

At a hearing Friday in Alexandria, Justice Department lawyers argued that the check Google wrote was insufficient to moot the damages claim, prompting a technical discussion over how experts would try to quantify the damages.
