Yesterday, we made closing arguments in the DOJ search notes trial. The DOJ's proposed drugs go miles beyond the Court's decision & would harm consumers, business and America's technology leadership. Here are a few key points from our arguments.
The trial began with a DOJ lawsuit accusing Google of abusing dominance in the search market by tying Google's search engine into the Chrome browser.
In the previous trial, Google strongly rejected the DOJ proposal that wanted to force the company to sell Chrome to third parties, because it was claimed to threaten global cybersecurity and damage the technology ecosystem.
Now, in its latest argument, Google states that the technology sector, especially artificial intelligence (AI), is actually in a healthy competitive climate.

Google said it was still waiting for the court's final decision, but they still believed that the previous decision was wrong and ready to file an appeal.
"We will wait for the opinion of the Court. And we are still very confident that the initial decision of the Court is wrong, and hope to file an appeal in the end," he concluded.
