The Kehoe Law Firm, a leading national law firm specializing in antitrust and consumer protection litigation, has filed a civil antitrust action against Google under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. The class action complaint, filed on behalf of the Sterling International Consulting Group and those similarly situated, alleges that Google has engaged in an anticompetitive scheme to dominate the Publisher Ad Server Market, resulting in artificially inflated prices for publisher ad server services.
The plaintiff in this case operates a website that sells digital display ads to advertisers. The complaint contends that Google has established and maintained a monopoly in the Publisher Ad Server Market, giving it the power to manipulate prices charged to Publishers, such as the plaintiffs.
According to John A. Kehoe, a partner at the Kehoe Law Firm, “Google’s anticompetitive actions have had a significant impact on the Publisher Ad Server Market, leading to higher costs for Publishers and limiting their options. This case aims to address the harm caused by Google’s dominance and seeks compensatory and injunctive relief under the Sherman Act.”
The complaint outlines Google’s control over various levels of the Ad Tech Stack, including publisher ad server products, ad exchange, ad network, and advertiser ad server. It alleges that Google’s series of anticompetitive acts, dating back to at least 2007, have illegally enhanced and maintained its dominant position in the Publisher Ad Server Market.
The complaint alleges that Google’s acquisitions, exclusionary conduct, and measures to impair potential rivals have stifled competition and harmed plaintiffs and members of the proposed class. The complaint seeks compensatory and injunctive relief for violations of the Sherman Act.
