Google Faces Anti-Trust Probes In India And Four Other Jurisdictions


"So, what is the software and what is the algorithmic search, (that is) what the investigation team is looking at," CCI Chairman Ashok Chawla had said recently.

Meanwhile, in its filing, Google also said it was pursuing a potential resolution with the European Commission's Director General of Competition, which is probing various anti-trust related complaints against the company.

"We believe we have adequately responded to all of the allegations made against us. We continue to cooperate with the EC and are pursuing a potential resolution that would avoid a finding of infringement and a fine," it said.

Besides, European Commission has opened an investigation into Motorola's licensing practices for standards essential patents and use of standards-essential patents in litigation following complaints by Microsoft and Apple.

"The European Commission has issued a Statement of Objections against Motorola alleging abuse of a dominant position with respect to these standards-essential patents. We have responded to the Statement of Objections and are defending the case," the filing said.

Also, state attorneys general from Texas, Ohio and Mississippi have also issued Civil Investigative Demands relating to the company's business practices.

"We are co-operating with the state attorneys general and are responding to their information requests on an ongoing basis," it added.
