Google responds to US court order regarding lack of term limit for device makers

( August 1, 2025, 21:42 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Google told a US federal that under its remedy proposal in the Justice Department's Internet search monopolization suit, there is no semblance of exclusivity, and therefore no arguable need to impose a maximum one-year term limitation for device manufacturers and carrier agreements in its search exclusivity deals. Google was ordered by US District Judge Amit Mehta to explain why it did not include a one-year term limitation for OEMs and carriers in its search exclusivity deals with them when such term is included for browser agreements. "Under Google’s [proposed final judgment], an OEM or carrier could exclusively preinstall a rival search engine while still preloading the Play Store or other Google apps, or it could earn revenue from Google on some search access points without foregoing the opportunity to earn revenue from rival search engines on other access points," the company said in its response.See attached document...
