Not since the U.S. government tried to break up Microsoft in 2000 has the federal government taken on a major tech giant over its business practice.
But antitrust lawyers say that even when judges don’t hand down explicit penalties, such cases historically have curbed aggressive behavior of industry giants. They point to the rise of Google and other internet competitors in the wake of the Justice Department’s 2001 case against Microsoft, which ended in a settlement.
The judgment in the Google case likely will not come until next year. It may be years more before it is clearer how the case has affected Google’s trajectory, including its prospects in the emerging artificial intelligence sector.Expected highlights in the coming weeks include testimony by Google chief executive Sundar Pichai and by senior Apple executives. Some of the most interesting details about the companies’ business dealings are likely to be sealed from public view as trade secrets.
After opening statements, the Justice Department will make its case first, followed by a group of state attorneys general. The internet giant will then have the floor to make its defense. Rebuttals, post-trial briefs and closing arguments are expected to continue for weeks afterward, likely pushing any judgment ruling into early next year.
