The US government has started a legal battle with Google. at now, Google has asked the US government for details of allegations.
Google lawyers have wanted to see the full details of allegations from the US government. The company wants to know which documents have been used to file the complaint.
“We need access to those elements. We need to know more about the design of those elements. ” – Says Google lawyer John Schmidlein.
Schmidlein made the remarks during a status conference over the phone, Reuters reported.
The case is being heard by Washington DC District Judge Amit Mehta. In the lawsuit, the US government has accused the company, which is worth 1 trillion, of taking advantage of market dominance.
Judge Mehta said he would not be surprised if the case went on for months.
The judiciary then instructed a lawyer to look into the list of organizations that provided information to the government, how much information everyone provided and whether a copy of the information request could be quickly given to Google.
Judiciary’s Kenneth Dintzer made no promises, but said what Google wanted was “not unreasonable.”
Judge Mehta said Google would soon have a list of 100 potential signatories. “Looks like you’ll have a better chance of finding out about the government’s allegations.”
Organizations that support the government include Microsoft, Amazon and others. These organizations will inform the court on Friday about how they want to practice their data.
It is expected that Google will respond to the official complaint before December 21.
