California Attorney General

State of Utah et al. v. Google LLC

Settled

Google allegedly violated state and federal laws by monopolizing the Android smartphone application market. According to CA-AG, Google took advantage of Android phone customers by limiting consumer choice and capitalizing on commissions for in-app purchases, all while limiting alternative ways to download apps. Google's anticompetitive behavior hurt consumers by limiting their options, inflating prices on in-app purchases, and creating an unfair marketplace designed to funnel ill-gotten profits back to the company.
