INTRODUCTION
Google Inc. (Google) has long been a monopolist in the overall U.S. market for
general Internet search (hereafter general search). Google search is the Internets most powerful
tool, and to Google has become synonymous with searching the Internet. Internet search has
made Google the largest, and the most profitable, web-centric company in America.
2.
Google also is a monopolist in the large and fast-growing American market for
mobile and tablet general Internet search (hereafter handheld general search). But Googles
maintenance and expansion of its monopoly in handheld general search, and, by extension, general
search, is not merely a function of having built a better search engine. Instead, Google has found a
10
way to use its Android mobile operating system (Android OS) to maintain and expand its
11
12
3.
Having recognized that personal computing was moving away from the desktop and
13
that Internet searches increasingly are being done on smartphones and tablets, Google purchased
14
the Android OS in 2005. By giving away the Android OS itself for free, Google rapidly built an
15
16
4.
But Android itself only enables the basic functionality of a handheld device; what
17
brings mobile phones and tablets to life are applications. Some of the most popular handheld-
18
device applications, including the YouTube video app and Google Play (which enables shopping in
19
Googles app store) also are Google properties. As Google well knows, customers expect to see
20
these apps on their Android devices. So Google, by way of secret Mobile Application Distribution
21
22
apps including the YouTube app and Google Play client, among others, onto a phone or tablet but
23
only if the manufacturer pre-loads onto prime screen real estate all of the apps in the suite, whether
24
the manufacturer wants them or not. Because consumers want access to Googles products, and
25
due to Googles power in the U.S. market for general handheld search, Google has unrivaled
26
27
28
5.
Among the suite of apps covered by Googles MADAs is the Google Phone-top
Search app a widget for conducting web searches via Googles search engine. This case arises
because of recent revelations that Google has restrained trade and abused its market power by
requiring distributors to install the Google Phone-top Search app and to set it as the default
search provider for all Web search access points, including the Internet browser, on phones or
tablets subject to its MADAs. As Google well knows, consumers do not know how to switch, nor
will they go to the trouble of switching, the default search engine on their devices, so this practice
is a highly effective means of ensuring that consumers will use Google search to conduct general
Internet queries rather than one of its competitors search products. And Google badly wants
10
default search engine status because it results in more paid search-related advertisements, which
11
are the source of most of its billions and billions of dollars in annual profits.
12
6.
13
choose a default search engine other than Google, the quality of Internet search overall would
14
improve because search engines become more effective as they process more and more search
15
queries. With default search engine status providing access to more searches, Googles
16
competitors in search would become more effective as they processed more queries, and this
17
competition would push Google to improve as well. Also, if Googles rivals were allowed to
18
compete for default status, they would do so in part by offering to pay device manufacturers for
19
that status on various Android smartphones and tablets. Such payments to device manufacturers,
20
maximized by way of competitive bidding, would lower the bottom-line cost associated with
21
production of the covered devices, which in turn would lead to lower consumer prices for
22
23
7.
Googles MADAs are contracts in restraint of trade that are designed to maintain
24
and extend its monopolies in general search and handheld general search. Simply put, there is no
25
lawful, pro-competitive reason for Google to condition licenses to pre-load popular Google apps on
26
making its search product the default search engine on covered devices. By insisting on these
27
contracts with device manufacturers, to the detriment of competition and consumers, Google has
28
violated the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, Californias Cartwright Act, and Californias Unfair
Competition Act. Plaintiffs seek an injunction prohibiting Google from forcing its unlawful
distribution agreements on device manufacturers, and they seek monetary relief to restore the
quantum of money they overpaid for their Android handheld devices as a result of the competition

JURISDICTION
This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action under 28 U.S.C. 1331
because plaintiffs allege violations of federal law, namely the federal Sherman and Clayton Acts.
The Court has supplemental jurisdiction over the plaintiffs state law claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
10
1367(a).
11
9.
This Court has personal jurisdiction over the defendant by way of the fact that the
12
defendant is licensed to do business in the state of California and in fact conducts business in this
13
state.
14
10.
15
unlawful practices are alleged to have been committed in this federal judicial district and the
16
17
11.
Assignment to the San Jose division of this Court is appropriate because the
18
defendant has its headquarters in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, which is located
19
in this division of the Northern District of California. Also, it is believed and therefore alleged that
20
many members of the proposed class reside or do business in the San Jose division of the Northern
21
District of California.

PARTIES
Plaintiff Gary Feitelson is the owner of an HTC EVO 3D mobile phone purchased
24
in or about July 2011 in Louisville, Kentucky. This device is an Android OS device believed, and
25
therefore alleged, to be covered by one of the exclusionary Google contracts, i.e., a Google-HTC
26
MADA, described herein. Mr. Feitelson uses his phone, inter alia, to perform Internet general
27
searches. But for the restraints alleged herein, Mr. Feitelsons phone would have cost less and had
28
better search capabilities as the result of competition that would have ensued but for Googles
unlawful restraints.
13.
Plaintiff Daniel McKee is the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S III mobile phone
purchased in or about July 2012 in Des Moines, Iowa. This device is an Android OS device
believed, and therefore alleged, to be covered by one of the exclusionary Google contracts, i.e., a
Google-Samsung MADA, described herein. Mr. McKee uses his phone, inter alia, to perform
Internet general searches. But for the restraints alleged herein, Mr. McKees phone would have

place of business in Mountain View, California. Google is Americas leader in general Internet
12
search conducted on all devices, and in handheld general search. It also is the owner of the
13
Android OS and popular and exclusive mobile and tablet applications including YouTube, Google
14
Maps, and Gmail. Additionally, Google is the owner of the Google Play (formerly Android
15
Market) client, by which owners of Android devices bearing it are enabled to buy applications,
16
music, movies, and books from the Google Play store. Google was number 55 on last years U.S.

RELEVANT FACTS
20
devices who have been affected adversely by Googles unlawful practices in commerce.
21
A.
22
General Internet searches occur, inter alia, when a user goes to a search engine
23
website Google.com, for example and executes a query there, or when he enters a query into
24
his browsers search bar and a pre-designated search engine operating in the background executes
25
it. For example, the user might query name of the 32nd president of the United States. Google is
26
a monopolist in the U.S. market for general search conducted on all devices, including laptops,
27
desktops, mobile phones, and tablets. According to StatCounter, Googles search engine share
28
(http://gs.statcounter.com/#desktop+mobile+tablet-search_engine-US-monthly-201401-201403
(last accessed April 16, 2014).) Googles share is even larger, factoring in the .71% of the market
that AOL held as of April 2014, and the .36% of the market that Ask Jeeves held as of that same
time, both of which Google powers. By contrast, Googles competitor Bings share was at a
distant 9.8% as of that point in time, and its competitor Yahoo!s share was at an even more distant
6.42%. (Id.) (Yahoo! search is currently powered by Bing. Bing is owned by Microsoft.)

22
By any standard, Googles 81.87%+ share of the U.S. handheld general search
23
market is a monopoly.
24
B.
25
18.
26
19.
Recognizing that Internet search was migrating from desktops to mobile devices,
27
Google purchased the Android OS in August 2005. Handheld device manufacturers including
28
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (Samsung), HTC Corporation (HTC), and others have adopted
Android as the operating system for their popular smartphone and tablet devices. These devices
have included the popular Samsung Galaxy and HTC EVO smartphone lines, and the Samsung
20.
With respect to mobile phones, according to comScore, a firm that regularly surveys
over 30,000 U.S. mobile subscribers in the U.S., Androids share of the United States smartphone
market was at 51.7% as of January 2014. comScore also reports that as of January 2014,
Americans owned 159.8 million smartphones, up 7% from October 2013. Thus, Android OS
powers the majority of smartphones owned by U.S. users. But this does not begin to tell the story
10
of Googles dominance in mobile and tablet devices. That dominance is based in its monopoly in
11
12
21.
13
Internet search query on his or her device. If, for example, the user wants to know where the
14
nearest coffee shop is located, she might type her query into the search bar of her mobile browser.
15
The browser then will hand off the request to a pre-set search engine, such as the Google search
16
engine, that will operate behind the scenes to execute her request. Or she might use a dedicated
17
search app, for example a Google-branded app or widget that was pre-loaded onto her phone, and
18
enter her search term there. Not surprisingly, when she does so with a Google widget, the search is
19
processed through the Google search engine. Or she might go to https://www.google.com via her
20
browser and run the search from there which is not as likely as the other two methods described,
21
given the extra step involved to navigate to the Google website before entering the desired query.
22
But in that event, too, a search engine Googles will execute the search. Whichever of these
23
methods the phone or tablet user employs, search results will be returned to her.
24
22.
Google is the dominant mobile and tablet search engine in the United States. As of
25
March 2014, StatCounter reports that Googles U.S. handheld general search engine share the
26
share of mobile phone and tablet searches run through Googles search engine was at an
27
astounding 86.82%. Its competitor Yahoo!s share was at a distant 7.64%, and its competitor

The handheld general search market is a submarket of the Internet general search
17
market. The former captures Internet general searches performed on portable, wireless, handheld
18
smartphones and tablets. The latter captures Internet general searches performed not only on these
19
handheld devices, but on desktop and laptop computers, too. By any standard, Googles 86.88%

C.
22
Google engages in unlawful behavior in order to restrain trade and to maintain and
grow its monopoly in handheld general search.
24.
Google maintains monopoly status in handheld general search, which ensures that
23
the vast majority of mobile and tablet searches will be run by its search engine. Cornering the
24
25
25.
Google makes its money by selling advertising. The primary component of its
26
27
AdWords platform, serves paid ads in conjunction with so-called organic or natural search results.
28
Thus, if an individual conducts a search for flat screen tv that is run by Googles search engine,
he will be returned not only a series of organic results in the form of links to responsive websites,
but also, he often will be returned a series of advertisements at the top and/or right (or north and
east) of the results page or pages. These search advertisements are based on a computerized
analysis of the search terms that the individual entered, and paid ads are served as a function of a
bidding process that advertisers have undertaken in order to buy words in the search query.
26.
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/01/court-orders-google-to-pay-1-36-of-adwords-revenue-
for-infringing-patents/ (estimating that Googles U.S. AdWords revenue, which is based on ads
10
generated by search queries, is somewhere in the range of $15 billion to $18 billion annually)
11
(last accessed April 30, 2014).) Unfortunately, Google has not competed simply on the basis of a
12
better search engine, but also various unlawful tactics designed to favor its interests. These tactics
13
have caught the attention of Congress and regulators at home and abroad.
14
1.
Google has been the subject of, and has settled, various antitrust investigations.
15
27.
16
and Consumer Rights held a hearing on The Power of Google: Serving Consumers or Threatening
17
Competition?, at which Googles Executive Chairman, Eric Schmidt, appeared and answered
18
questions related to Googles status as a monopolist; charges that it rigged search results to favor
19
its own interests; and charges that it scraped content from various websites and served it up in non-
20
organic search results, among others. (See generally Power of Google Transcript of Sept. 21, 2011

Following this hearing, The New York Times reported in an October 12, 2012, article

29.
Google ultimately reached a settlement with the U.S. government to head off an
4
antitrust lawsuit. (See, e.g., Google Agrees to Change Its Business Practices to Resolve FTC
5
Competition Concerns in the Markets for Devices Like Smart Phones, Games and Tablets, and in
6
Online Search (available at http://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2013/01/google7
agrees-change-its-business-practices-resolve-ftc (last accessed March 26, 2014)).) In that
8
settlement, Google agreed to two terms involving search advertising. According to the Federal
9
Trade Commission, Google []agreed to give online advertisers more flexibility to simultaneously
10
manage ad campaigns on Googles AdWords platform and on rival ad platforms; and to refrain
11
from misappropriating online content from so-called vertical websites that focus on specific
12
categories such as shopping or travel for use in its own vertical offerings. (Id. at 1.)
13
30.
Google also has faced intense scrutiny from the European Unions antitrust
14
authorities for these same sorts of practices. In February 2014, the E.U. and Google announced
15
that they had reached a settlement in avoidance of litigation. By way of the settlement, Google has
16
agreed to display rival search ads next to its own specialized search ads. It also has agreed to allow
17
website owners the right to opt out of display of their content crawled by Googles search engine
18
agents on covered web pages. And Google has agreed to cease making it difficult or impossible for
19
advertisers to port search advertising campaigns, i.e., AdWords campaigns, to rival search engines.
20
(See Commitments in Case COMP/C-3/39.740, dated January 31, 2014, at 2-15 (available at
21
http://services.google.com/fh/files/blogs/google_commitments_full_2014.pdf (last accessed
22
March 22, 2014).) But the settlement has yet to attain final approval by the E.U. Instead, it is
23
under heavy fire from various quarters, including the E.U.-affiliated European Consumer
24
Organisation, for not going far enough, and for leaving Googles anti-competitive practices
25
unchecked. (See, e.g., http://www.eubusiness.com/Members/BEUC/google-antitrust (last accessed

4

5
32.
Google uses its popular apps to coerce manufacturers into making it the default
6
search engine provider on handheld devices. This unlawful tactic is currently under investigation
7
by European Union authorities, following the lodging of a complaint by FairSearch.org, of which
8
Microsoft, Expedia, tripadvisor, Oracle, and others are members. (See, e.g., In Europe, New
9

16
as Samsung or HTC wishes, for example, to pre-load Googles popular and exclusive YouTube app
17
on a given Android OS phone or tablet, or if it wishes to install Googles popular and exclusive
18
Google Play client on that device, then Google requires that the manufacturer must agree to make
19
Google the default search engine on the device. The manufacturer also must agree to pre-load all
20
of a suite of Google applications onto prime screen real estate. Further, the manufacturer must
21
agree to make Google location services the default location services provider on the phone.
22
Additionally, the manufacturer must agree that it will pass a so-called Android Compatibility Test
23
as to that device, which Google administers and controls in its sole discretion.1 (Ex. A (MADA

Plaintiffs do not yet have sufficient information to identify which other manufacturers beyond

Unfortunately, these MADAs are not available for public inspection because they were not entered
into evidence in the case. It appears likely, however, that Google has insisted on similar tying
arrangements with some or all of these other manufacturers, in violation of federal and state law,
and to the detriment of competition and consumers. (See Oracle America v. Google (N.D. Cal. No.
3:10-cv.03561), Dkt. No. 923 at Entries 83-85, 286, 2742-2756, and 2772-2702.)

These provisions are confidential and are not ordinarily available to the public.
MADA provision 6.1 prohibits a device manufacturer from sharing any Confidential Information
(as defined), and Google labels the MADA documents as Confidential, which makes the MADA
subject to this restriction. Two MADA documents became available during recent litigation: in
Oracle America v. Google, the HTC MADA and Samsung MADA were admitted as Trial Exhibits

Also, most phone and tablet users are unaware of the interaction between their browser which on

which happens to be powering it; they simply want information from the World Wide Web.
(Using the browser to execute a search is an alternative to typing a search into the Google Phone-
top search bar.) They do not realize that when they initiate a search by typing a query into the
search/address box of their mobile web browser the so-called omnibox the query is executed

If Google is set as the default search engine provider, so much the better to sustain
and grow Googles monopoly position and power in handheld general search. As Googles VicePresident of Product Management & Marketing put it:
11
12
13
38.
14
manufacturers such as Samsung and HTC, Google restrains and quashes competition for default
15
search engine status before it even can begin. There is no lawful reason to compel manufacturers
16
wishing to pre-load the YouTube app onto a device, or to enable their customers to access the
17
Google Play store and its 1.2 million apps, to make Google the default search engine on that device
18
as well. Instead, Googles practice is a pure power play designed to maintain and extend its
19
monopoly in handheld general search.

D.
Googles practices with respect to its Android apps and search product restrain and
injure competition in markets where already there are high barriers to entry.

Google service is preferable to one of the listed Google Applications perhaps faster, easier to use,
25
or more protective of user privacy. Alternatively, a phone manufacturer might conclude that its

users care more about a lower price than about pre-loaded Google apps. Such a manufacturer
might be willing to install exclusively and prominently an app from some other search-engine
provider, location-services provider, or other developer in exchange for a payment, which would be
partially shared with consumers via a lower selling price for the phone. Googles MADA
restrictions disallow any such configuration if the phone is to include any of the listed Google apps.

DuckDuckGo, Yahoo! Search, and others are reasonable substitutes to Google Search.
Manufacturers also may perceive that Bing Maps, MapQuest, Yahoo! Maps, and others are
10
reasonable substitutes to Google Maps. But it is not clear what other app store besides Google Play
11
that a manufacturer could preinstall onto a smartphone in order to offer a comprehensive set of
12
13
YouTube app. Without the expected pre-loaded app allowing easy access to the short-format
14
entertainment videos that are YouTubes specialty, a phone would be unattractive to many
15
consumers, thus undermining carriers efforts to sell data plans, and putting the phone at
16
heightened risk of commercial failure. Needing Google Play and YouTube, a manufacturer must
17
then accept Google Search, Maps, Network Location Provider, and more even if the

22
could install other search, maps, or email apps in addition to those offered by Google. But multiple
23
apps are duplicative, confusing to users, and a drain on limited device resources. Moreover, in the

key categories of search and location, Google requires that its apps be the default, and Google
25
demands prominent placements for its search app and app store. These factors sharply limit users
26
attention to other preloaded apps, reducing competitors willingness to pay for pre-installation.
27
28
Thus, even if phone manufacturers or carriers preload multiple applications in a given category, the
multiple apps are unlikely to significantly weaken the effects of Googles tie.
42.
vendors of search, maps, location, email, and other apps cannot outcompete Google on the merits;
even if a competitor offers an app thats better than Googles offering, the carrier is obliged to
install Googles app also, and Google can readily amend the MADA to require making its app the
default in the corresponding category (for those apps that dont already have this additional
protection). Furthermore, competitors are impeded in using the obvious strategy of paying
manufacturers for distribution; to the extent that manufacturers can install competitors apps, they
10
can offer only inferior placement adjacent to Google, with Google left as the default in key
11
sectors preventing competitors from achieving scale or outbidding Google for prominent or
12
13
14
15
43.
These MADA provisions serve both to help Google expand into areas where
competition could otherwise occur, and to prevent competitors from gaining traction.
44.
Googles practices with respect to its MADAs restrain and hurt competition because
16
they constitute yet one more way by which Google forecloses its rivals in handheld general search
17
from competing. The results are especially pernicious given that already there are high barriers to
18
19
45.
Any search engine becomes better over time as more and more search inquiries are
20
run through it. Searches executed via Googles search engine provide Google with data that
21
Google utilizes to improve its search algorithm. For example, if a users quest for specific
22
information is not satisfied by clicking on prominent links in results returned by the search engine,
23
she will click on a lower-ranked link or enter new search terms, and this data allows the algorithm
24
powering the search engine to adapt, or to be modified, to produce better results. This, in turn,
25
enhances Googles appeal to consumers, and the cycle repeats itself. Then, because Google
26
attracts more users with these ever-improving search results, Google attracts yet more ad dollars
27
because advertisers will follow the most consumers. And with more advertising dollars, Google
28
can spend even more money to enhance its infrastructure4 and search product, the effect of which
will be to attract yet more. (See, e.g., C. Argenton & J. Prfer, Search Engine Competition with
Network Externalities, Journal of Competition Law and Economics, 8(1), 73-105 (2012), at 1-2,
9, 11, 13.) This is the beautiful thing of which Mr. Rosenberg, Google VP of Product
46.
The high barrier to entry posed by Googles beautiful cycle has been recognized
by antitrust regulators. As the federal government recognized in its February 18, 2010, Statement
of the Department of Justice Antitrust Division on Its Decision To Close Its Investigation of the
Internet Search and Paid Search Advertising Agreement Between Microsoft Corporation and
10

Huge financial and computational resources are required to run a search engine as a
consequence of the enormity of the World Wide Web. Search engines crawl the web via robots in
order to index the contents of the nearly one billion websites in existence. (See
http://www.internetlivestats.com/total-number-of-websites/ (last accessed April 14, 2014).)
Needless to say, this is a Herculean task due to the ever-expanding nature of the web. Googles
head of search stated at an August 2012 search press breakfast that there were some 20 trillion
URLs online and that Google crawled over 20 billion of those on an average day. He also reported
that Google answered 100 billion searches per month. (http://searchengineland.com/googlesearch-press-129925 (last accessed April 22, 2014) (emphasis added).) Contrast this to what
Google reported only four years earlier, when the numbers already were staggering. As Google
wrote in July 2008: Recently, even our search engineers stopped in awe about just how big the
web is these days when our systems that process links on the web hit a milestone: 1 trillion (as in
1,000,000,000,000) unique URLs on the web at once!
(http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/we-knew-web-was-big.html (last accessed April 14,
2014) (emphasis in original).) Google reported further:
22
Even after removing exact duplicates, we saw a trillion unique
URLs, and the number of individual web pages out there is growing by
several billion pages per day. We dont index every one of those
trillion pages [b]ut were proud to have the most comprehensive
index of any search engine. Today, Google downloads the web
continuously . [M]ultiple times every day, we do the computational
equivalent of fully exploring every intersection of every road in the
United States. Except itd be a map about 50,000 times as big as the
U.S., with 50,000 roads and intersections.

Yet even after consummation of the Microsoft-Yahoo! deal referenced in this statement by the
Department of Justice, in which Microsofts Bing began to power Yahoo! searches, Bing has
10
struggled mightily. As The Washington Post reported recently, Microsofts online services
11
division, which oversees search engine Bing, reported a loss of $1.3 billion in 2013 less than the
12

switch/wp/2014/02/05/investors-want-microsofts-new-ceo-to-kill-xbox-bing-and-surface/ (last
14
accessed April 14, 2014.) This has brought pressure from investors to dump Bing altogether.
15
47.
If Microsoft were to exit the market, then there is little hope for any meaningful
16
competition in the markets for general search and handheld general search. As Steve Pociask and
17
Joseph P. Fuhr, Jr. of the American Consumer Institute put it in their July 24, 2012 paper entitled
18
19
20
21
22

24
25

27
28
the market has tipped to Google, which funnels much of the webs
traffic to and from its websites and partner websites.

5
48.
Google itself has acknowledged that scale is critical to the general search market
6
and constitutes a grave barrier to entry. For example, Googles executive chairman, Eric Schmidt,
7
was quoted in an April 13, 2003 New York Times article entitled In Searching the Web, Google
8
Finds Riches as stating: Managing search at our scale is a very serious barrier to entry. And
9
this was over 10 years ago, well before Google attained its present immense size and scale.
10
Mr. Schmidt has since tried to walk back that statement, but it remains as objectively true today as
11
it was then even more so.
12
49.
In fact, only a few years ago, Mr. Schmidt again acknowledged the immense power
13
and marketplace effectiveness of Googles scale during an interview for an October 9, 2009.
14
BloombergBusinessweek article entitled How Google Plans To Stay Ahead in Search. In
15
response to the question, What is Googles biggest strength in search? Mr. Schmidt responded:
16
We just have so much scale in terms of the data we can bring to bear.
17
50.
This is consistent with Mr. Schmidts remarks expressed earlier in 2009, in response
18
to a question during a FOX Business television interview about whether Microsofts investment of
19
some $80-100 million into promotion for its competitive search engine, Bing, would compel a
20
response from Google. As Mr. Schmidt put it, From Bings perspective they have a bunch of new
21
ideas and there are some things that are missing. We think search is about comprehensiveness,
22
freshness, scale, and size for what we do. Its difficult for them to copy that.
23
(http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/schmidt-bing-has-not-changed-what-google-is-doing/19492
24
(emphasis added) (last visited March 20, 2014).) When not even a company as successful and
25
wealthy as Microsoft gives Google competitive pause due to Googles scale and the barriers to
26
entry that it poses, then realistically, no company can hope to compete with Google in the fast27
28
growing market for phone and tablet general search, especially when Google resorts to unlawful
51.
competitor DuckDuckGo says its getting shut out, [u]pstart Internet search engine
DuckDuckGo, which promotes itself as a Google Inc. rival which does not track users personal
information, says it is being hurt by the search giant . According to the article, Gabriel
Weinberg, the MIT graduate who started DuckDuckGo, complained that the Android wireless
phone comes with Google as the phones standard search mechanism. (Id.) DuckDuckGo can
be added as an app to a mobile device, which is less convenient than being the default search
10
engine, said Weinberg. But Googles anti-competitive tactics did not stop there. Instead, Google,
11
having purchased a company which owned the domain name duck.com, began redirecting traffic
12
from that domain name to itself after DuckDuckGo inquired about purchasing it. (Id.) This,
13
according to Mr. Weinberg, created confusion among consumers. (Id.) Mr. Weinberg also
14
complained of the difficulty of making DuckDuckGo the default search provider in Googles
15
Chrome web browser. (Id.) The article concluded by reporting that [a] former antitrust enforcer,
16
who asked not to be named, said the actions that Weinberg complained about were unexciting
17
taken individually but, as a cluster, could be worrisome. Its relevant. Its what antitrust enforcers
18
19
52.
When Bing and other search engines such as DuckDuckGo are excluded from
20
competition by way of the practices described in this complaint, not only is actual competition
21
restrained and harmed by way of the exclusion itself, but even the prospect of real competition is
22
restrained and diminished. When Googles search product grows in effectiveness, fueled by search
23
volumes strongly enhanced as a result of Googles anti-competitive practices, competitors fall yet
24
further behind both in terms of effectiveness but also in terms of reputation in the marketplace.
25
53.
26
because rivals to Googles applications, such as AOLs MapQuest, an alternative to Google Maps,
27
cannot compete for pre-load exclusivity on affected Android OS mobile devices. Googles like
28
applications must be pre-loaded pursuant to terms of its MADAs, in prime positions on the mobile
54.
Not only is competition restrained and harmed by Googles practices, but so is the
innovation that real competition brings. When rivals are not able to compete, they will be less and
less likely to make the investments in time and money that would mean better mobile search or
maps (as one example) for everyone. New potential competitors will stay away, too, from such a
stacked marketplace. And this means that consumers are robbed of what these aspiring
competitors might bring to the market, if only they were given a fair chance to compete.
E.
10
The MADA restrictions have been unknown to the public and Google has
11
effectively kept them hidden. The MADA agreements are labeled highly confidential attorneys

Android operating system or Googles apps for Android leading reasonable observers and even

For example, on the Welcome to the Android Open Source Project! page, the first
18
19
(last accessed April 29, 2014).) Nothing on that page indicates that the Android platform, or
20
Googles apps for Android, suffers any restriction or limitation on the flexibility standard for open

23
openness in mobile. Former Google Senior Vice President Jonathan Rosenberg offered a 4300-
24
word analysis of the benefits of openness for Google generally and in mobile in particular. For
25
example, Mr. Rosenberg argued: In an open system, a competitive advantage doesnt derive from
26
locking in customers, but rather from understanding the fast-moving system better than anyone else
27
28
Mr. Rosenberg also argued that openness allow[s] innovation at all levels from the operating
system to the application layer not just at the top a design which he said helps facilitate
freedom of choice for consumers as well as competitive ecosystem for providers. (Id.) Mr.
Rosenberg says nothing about MADA provisions or restrictions on what apps manufacturers can
install. Yet there is no way to reconcile the MADA restrictions with Mr. Rosenbergs claim of
allow[ing] innovation at all levels and claimed freedom of choice for consumers.

April 2011 blog post claimed that [D]evice makers are free to modify Android to customize any

do require the device to conform with some basic compatibility requirements. (After all, it would
14
not be realistic to expect Google applications or any applications for that matter to operate
15
flawlessly across incompatible devices). (Id.) Mr. Rubins post does not explicitly indicate that
16
the referenced basic compatibility requirements are the only requirements Google imposes, but
17
that is the natural interpretation. Reading Mr. Rubins remarks, particularly in light of his
18
introduction that Android is an open platform, most readers would conclude that there are no

But that is not all. Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, following the

12
from Sen. Al Franken (question 7), and from Sen. Richard Blumenthal (question 7) were similar
13
and, in sections, identical, and were highly misleading given the terms of Googles MADAs. (Id.

As part of its strategy to maintain and extend its monopoly in handheld general
17
search, Google also has entered into exclusionary agreements with the largest non-Android phone
18
manufacturer, Apple Inc. (Apple).
19
62.
Google has paid Apple hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions of dollars over
20
the years, to act as the default search engine on Apple iPhones, iPads, and iPods. It is estimated
21
that it will pay Apple over a billion dollars in 2014 to retain this status. (See, e.g.,
22
http://searchengineland.com/financial-analyst-affirms-googles-1-billion-in-default-search23
payments-to-apple-148255 (last accessed April 4, 2014).) This arrangement forecloses competing

search engine companies from the best opportunity to break Googles stranglehold on the handheld

general search market.

its monopolies because they are robbed of choice, because of the stifling of innovation, and
because their handheld devices cost more than they would if Google did not foreclose competition.
As to the latter harm, when Googles competitors in handheld general search are prevented from
competing with regard to default engine status, or for app exclusivity, on a phone or tablet, money
they would pay manufacturers for that status which would drive down the price of that device
stays in these competitors pockets. This means that consumers pay more for affected phones and
10
65.
Googles mandatory MADA terms that tie Google search to its other products,
11
without business necessity or justification, in fact kill competition and consumer choice. As
12
Susan A. Creighton, counsel for Google and former Director of the Bureau of Competition at the
13
Federal Trade Commission, put it at the Power of Google hearing: And this really gets to the
14
question of, are there impediments to the ability of consumers to choose. So if someone found, for
15
example, that as Microsoft did there [with respect to Netscape], that Microsoft was intimidating
16
OEMs from being able to offer rival product so that it never got to market, then I would want to
17
have relief that went to those provisions that were preventing choice. (Power of Google
18
19
20
This lawsuit aims to achieve the sort of relief to which Googles counsel referred
21
and to restore to consumers the price premium they paid for their affected mobile phones and
22
tablets.
23
24
25
26
27
28
Googles counsel also remarked that competition among search engines for default status with
Apple was a good thing even as Googles own MADAs, with their tying provisions, make it
impossible with respect to affected Android OS products. (See id. at 45 ([W]e actually want
Apple to be able to have companies like Bing and Google competing to be the best search
engine. . . . Now, [Apple] having picked Google, Bing and Yahoo are going to compete that much
harder the next time. So when you have that kind of a contestable market, that you have someone
whos a stand-in for consumers, because Apple is not going to take the worst search engine.).)

The activities of the defendant as alleged in this complaint were within the flow of,

RELEVANT MARKETS
there are two. The first is the United States market for general search, i.e., general Internet search
conducted on desktop computers, laptops, and handheld devices via the Google search engine or
one of its general search engine rivals, such as Bing. The second is the United States market for
handheld general search, i.e., general Internet search conducted on smartphones and tablets.
10
69.
First, Google has acknowledged the existence of a general search category (see
11
id. at 72 and 102 (referring to Microsofts Bing search engine in a written response posed by a U.S.
12
13
comparison, Google has no ability to exclude a general search engine rival such as Microsoft from
14
the market.; and its executive chairman stated in response to another written question: As I
15
acknowledged during the Committee hearing, Google is in the area of 65% of queries [for
16
desktop search] in the U.S., if you look only at Googles general search competitors, such as
17
18
70.
Though Google today seems intent on denying the existence of this obvious
19
market even as it (a) pays Apple hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars for default search
20
engine status on the iPhone and (b) insists on unlawful tying arrangements with Android OS
21
manufacturers to maintain and expand its dominance of it in smartphones and tablets Googles
22
executive chairman was correct when in September 2010 he remarked in a Wall Street Journal
23
video interview that there is in fact a market for general search. Whatever Googles current efforts
24
to dilute the discreteness of this market with references to specialized searches run through
25
Facebook, for example, or Yelp, its executive chairman himself rightly waved away such efforts
26
from others only a short while ago. As AFP reported in a September 25, 2010, article entitled
27
28

While its true Web search is not the only game in town, searching
information is what it is all about, Schmidt said in Wall Street
Journal interview video posted online.

11
71.
Second, a relevant submarket, in addition to, or as an alternative to, the first relevant
12
market, is the United States market for handheld general search. Not only do industry analysts
13
consider handheld general search to be a distinct market, but so does Google in its pitches to
14
advertisers. (See, e.g., http://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/mobile-search-ppt.pdf (PowerPoint
15
presentation to advertisers based on Google-Nielsen survey and study).)
16
72.
Substantial barriers to entry to the overall general search market and the handheld
17
general search market exist because of Googles monopolization of those markets, including by
18
means of the unlawful conduct alleged in this complaint.

CLASS ALLEGATIONS
20
73.
Plaintiffs bring this action under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(1) and (2).
74.
Plaintiffs bring this action on behalf of themselves and the following class, for
21
22
injunctive relief based on violations of the federal Sherman and Clayton antitrust acts:
23
24
25
26
27
28
Excluded from this proposed class is the defendant; defendants affiliates and subsidiaries;
defendants current or former employees, officers, directors, agents, and representatives; and the
district judge or magistrate judge to whom this case is assigned, as well as those judges immediate
family members.
75.
Plaintiffs also bring this action on behalf of themselves and the following class, for
monetary and injunctive relief based on violations of Californias Cartwright Act and Unfair
Competition Law:
9

Excluded from this proposed class is the defendant; defendants affiliates and subsidiaries;

defendants current or former employees, officers, directors, agents, and representatives; and the
15
district judge or magistrate judge to whom this case is assigned, as well as those judges immediate
16
family members.
17
76.
Upon information and belief, the unlawful conduct alleged in this complaint,
18
including preparation of, imposition of the terms of, and entry into, the Google MADAs, was
19
effected, implemented, adopted, and ratified in the state of California, where Google maintains its
20
U.S. headquarters. Furthermore a substantial part of the anti-competitive conduct took place in
21
California. For these reasons, plaintiffs allege that they and the nationwide class proposed in the
22
preceding paragraph are entitled to monetary and injunctive relief under California law.
23
77.
In the event that the Court determines that California law does not apply nationwide,
24
plaintiffs will bring alternative, additional class allegations based on the laws of the various states
25
permitting such actions under their antitrust and unfair competition laws.

unknown and is not available to the plaintiffs at this time, but upon information and belief, the
28
classes will consist of many hundreds of thousands of members, or even millions of members, such
3
4
79.
Commonality: Numerous questions of law and fact are common to the claims of
the plaintiff and members of the proposed classes. These include, but are not limited to:
a.
manufacturer of any Android OS mobile telephone or tablet to pre-load on that device any of
Googles applications, including the YouTube app or the Google Play client, on the manufacturers
mandatory acceptance and installation of Google search, or so-called Google Phone-top Search, as
10
11
b.
Whether there are U.S. antitrust markets for general search and handheld
general search;
12
c.
13
the markets for general search and handheld general search, including with respect to Android OS
14
15
16
d.
markets has been restrained and harmed by Googles monopolization of those markets;
17
e.
18
more for their affected Android OS mobile telephones and tablets than they would have but for
19
20
f.
21
declaratory or injunctive relief to halt Googles unlawful practices, and to their attorney fees, costs,
22
and expenses;
23
g.
Whether plaintiffs and members of the proposed classes are entitled to any
24
damages or restitution incidental to the declaratory or injunctive relief they seek, and to their
25
attorney fees, costs, and expenses related to any recovery of such monetary relief; and
26
27
28
h.
entitled to any damages or restitution, and to their attorney fees, costs, and expenses related to any
80.
Typicality: Plaintiffs claims are typical of the claims of the members of the
proposed classes. The factual and legal bases of Googles liability are the same and resulted in
injury to plaintiffs and all of the other members of the proposed classes.
81.
Adequate representation: Plaintiffs will represent and protect the interests of the
proposed classes both fairly and adequately. They have retained counsel competent and
experienced in complex class-action litigation. Plaintiffs have no interests that are antagonistic to
10
those of the proposed classes, and their interests do not conflict with the interests of the proposed
11
12
82.
13
of individual actions for the conduct complained of were undertaken, there likely would be
14
inconsistent or varying results. This would have the effect of establishing incompatible standards
15
of conduct for the defendant. Certification of plaintiffs proposed classes would prevent these
16
undesirable outcomes.
17
83.
18
complaint, the defendant has acted on grounds that apply generally to the proposed classes.
19
Accordingly, final injunctive relief or corresponding declaratory relief is appropriate respecting the
20
classes as a whole.
21
84.
22
certification. Class proceedings on these facts and this law are superior to all other available
23
methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of this controversy, given that joinder of all
24
members is impracticable. Even if members of the proposed classes could sustain individual
25
litigation, that course would not be preferable to a class action because individual litigation would
26
increase the delay and expense to the parties due to the complex factual and legal controversies
27
present in this matter. Here, the class action device will present far fewer management difficulties,
28
and it will provide the benefit of a single adjudication, economies of scale, and comprehensive
5

85.
Plaintiffs repeat and re-allege every allegation above as if set forth herein in full.

Plaintiffs bring this claim on their own behalf and on behalf of each member of the
proposed nationwide Sherman Act and Clayton Act class (hereafter federal law class) described
above.

11
and tablets wishing to pre-load onto a device any Google application contained in a Google-
12
designated suite of apps must agree to pre-load all Google applications from that suite onto that
13
device. This suite of apps includes not only the YouTube app and Google Play client, among
14
others, but Googles Phone-top Search, i.e., Googles search engine product, as well. Thus, a
15
manufacturer wishing to pre-load YouTube or Google Play onto a device also is required to pre-
16
install Google Phone-top Search on that device and to make it the default search engine for all
17
Web search access points on the Device. (Exs. A and B, 3.4.) These requirements mean, inter
18
alia, that no rival search engine can compete for default search engine status on an affected device
19
20
21
22
88.
Googles MADAs are contracts in restraint of trade. Googles conduct affects and
Plaintiffs and the federal law class have been harmed by Googles conduct, both in
23
terms of the denial of choice and other injuries to competition and innovation, but also in terms of
24
the supra-competitive prices they paid for their smartphones and tablets due to the inability of
25
Googles rivals to compete for default search engine status or exclusive application pre-loading,
26
including by way of paying device manufacturers fees for such status. Had Googles rivals been
27
able to compete for such status on a given device, including by way of making payments to device
28
manufacturers, the effect would have been to lower the cost to produce that device, and consumer
prices would have been lower than what they were but for Googles unlawful conduct. For these
reasons, Googles conduct has been a substantial factor in causing plaintiffs and the proposed
classes harm.
90.
Plaintiffs are inclined to purchase Android OS devices in the future, in part because
of their investment in learning the Android OS system and also because of their desire to continue
using applications they have purchased from the Android Market or Google Play store. Plaintiffs
and the federal law class are entitled to an injunction, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 26, to prevent

and tablets wishing to pre-load onto a device any Google application contained in a Google-
26
designated suite of apps must agree to pre-load all Google applications from that suite onto that
27
device. This suite of apps includes not only the YouTube app and Google Play client, among
28
others, but Googles Phone-top Search, i.e., Googles search engine product, as well. Thus, a
manufacturer wishing to pre-load YouTube or Google Play onto a device also is required to pre-
install Google Phone-top Search on that device and to make it the default search engine for all
Web search access points on the Device. (Exs. A and B, 3.4.) These requirements mean, inter
alia, that no rival search engine can compete for default search engine status on an affected device

Plaintiffs and the federal law class have been harmed by Googles conduct, both in
11
terms of the denial of choice and other injuries to competition and innovation, but also in terms of
12
the supra-competitive prices they paid for their smartphones and tablets due to the inability of
13
Googles rivals to compete for default search engine status or exclusive application pre-loading,
14
including by way of paying device manufacturers fees for such status. Had Googles rivals been
15
able to compete for such status on a given device, including by way of making payments to device
16
manufacturer, the effect would have been to lower the cost to produce that device, and consumer
17
prices would have been lower than what they were but for Googles unlawful conduct. For these
18
reasons, Googles conduct has been a substantial factor in causing plaintiffs and the federal law
