Google, parent company Alphabet, Apple and both companies' chief executives were hit with an antitrust lawsuit Friday in California Northern District Court. The suit alleges that Apple and Google struck an anti-competitive pact whereby Apple agreed not to compete with Google in the search business and Google agreed to pay Apple billions of dollars to be the default search engine on Apple devices. The suit, brought on behalf of more than 25 individuals, is backed by the Alioto Law Firm, Bonsignore Trial Lawyers, the Veen Firm, and other plaintiffs firms. Counsel have not yet appeared for the defendants. The case is 3:22-cv-02499, Arcell et al v. Google LLC et al.
