A lawsuit filed against Apple, Google, Alphabet and several top executives claims that the firms illegally conspired to illegally dominate the global search business.
The Chrome agreement between Google and Apple first surfacedfor the Northern District of California Oakland Division. The suit claimed that the defendants, which include Google, its parent company Alphabet, CEO Sundar Pichai, Apple, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and former Google CEO and chairman Eric Schmidt violated sections 1 and 2 of the U.S. Sherman Antitrust act.
The suit also states that"Apple’s agreement to include Google as the initial search engine on all of Apple's devices gives Google a substantial and unfair anti-competitive advantage over other search providers, actual and potential, including Yahoo!, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and others." The real nuts and bolts, or should we say dollars and cents, appears later in the filing.
While Google and Apple are seeking a dismissal of the case, the U.K.'s CMA continues to investigate. A claim made in the lawsuit reveals the existence of what could be potentially major evidence. That's because the filing says that some of the secret meetings between Jobs and Schmidt and Cook and Pichai were"photographed and taped" by people who just happened to be in the area and spotted"the conspirators meeting together.
