The remedies trial in the DOJ's case against Google's ad tech business concluded with arguments before Judge Leonie Brinkema in the Eastern District of Virginia's "Rocket Docket." DOJ seeks divestiture of Google's Ad Manager and AdX due to illegal monopoly, while Google argues behavioral changes could resolve concerns without breakup disruption, with Brinkema expected to rule next year and noting a likely Google appeal. Testimonies highlighted breakup disruption and risk, with experts
Jason Nieh and
Glenn Bernston calling divestiture complex and risky, while CEOs like
Jeff Taxdahl and
Bill Ready warned of harm and new anticompetitive issues, praising
Google's support and warning about sector evolution.
