The remedies trial in the US DOJ's case against Google's ad tech business concluded in the Eastern District of Virginia's "Rocket Docket" with final arguments presented to Judge Leonie Brinkema. Judge Brinkema ruled that Google holds an illegal monopoly in two ad tech markets and is expected to issue her ruling next year, emphasizing that "time is of the essence." Google plans to appeal, which could delay enforcement and complicate mandated divestiture, while the DOJ and industry leaders debated the practicality and impact of the potential breakup.
