Google to Face Trial in DOJ's Digital Advertising Antitrust Case

Federal judge denies Google's motion to dismiss, setting stage for September trial over alleged ad tech monopoly.

Judge Leonie Brinkema ruled the case must go to trial due to disputed facts.
The DOJ and several states allege Google monopolized the digital ad market and overcharged users.
Google sought a summary judgment, arguing the market was not accurately defined by regulators.
The trial will be a bench trial, with the judge deciding the outcome rather than a jury.
The case is set to begin on September 9.
