Apple Seeks Delay in Google Antitrust Remedies Trial

The tech giant argues it faces 'irreparable harm' if excluded from the trial addressing Google's search monopoly remedies.

Apple has filed an emergency motion to delay the remedies trial in the Justice Department's antitrust case against Google, set to begin on April 22.
The company argues that its exclusion from the trial would prevent it from defending its financial and operational interests, including its $20 billion annual search deal with Google.
Apple's motion follows a district court's denial of its earlier request to participate directly in the trial, citing a late filing.
The Justice Department's proposed remedies could prohibit Apple from entering into search agreements with Google for a decade and potentially require Alphabet to divest its Chrome browser.
Apple has requested a decision on its motion by February 4, emphasizing that the trial's outcome could significantly impact its business and user agreements.
