Updated Nov. 6, 2023 3:44 pm ET
SAN FRANCISCO — Google’s power in the digital economy is facing another major legal test starting Monday in a case targeting its role as a gatekeeper on billions of mobile devices.
A group of jurors heard opening arguments from Fortnite-maker Epic Games that Google used its dominant position to squeeze excess profits from app developers, as well as the search giant’s response to those allegations. The case forms the second part of Epic’s attack on the two largest mobile software providers after the game developer went up against Apple in a 2021 courtroom battle.
