In re: Google Play Store Antitrust Litigation |
On November 28, 2022, a California federal judge issued an order granting consumer plaintiffs’ motion for class certification in ongoing litigation against Google that alleges that Google monopolized the market for Android app distribution and the in-app aftermarket through a variety of technological and contractual restraints. The Court simultaneously appointed Hae Sung Nam of Kaplan Fox as interim co-lead class counsel and denied Google’s motion to exclude the plaintiffs’ economic expert’s testimony. |
