Apple’s motion for a stay on the forthcoming Google remedy trial has been quickly denied, meaning Apple will have little say in the potential end of its annual $20 billion iPhone search deal with the search giant.
Google faces a remedy trail over its monopolistic practices
At the conclusion of the Department of Justice’s case against the company, Google was legally declared to be a search and advertising monopoly in August 2024. A remedy trial is planned to determine what steps Google can take to address this, and Apple has been trying to be a major part of the process.
According to MLex, however, Judge Amit Mehta has now denied Apple’s motion to obtain what’s called an emergency stay of the trial. The ruling came 24 hours after Apple filed its motion in response to Judge Mehta’s previous refusal to allow it any significant participation.
