Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is poised to testify on Monday as a key witness for the US Justice Department in the high-profile Google antitrust case, according to a court docket reported by Reuters.

 

Nadella’s anticipated testimony is expected to focus on Microsoft’s efforts to expand the reach of its Edge browser and Bing search engine, particularly in the context of challenges posed by Google’s market dominance.

In a related development, Microsoft’s Vice President of Business Development, Jonathan Tinter, took the stand in the antitrust trial on Thursday, revealing critical insights into the rivalry between the two tech giants. Tinter disclosed that a five-year truce between Microsoft and Google came crashing down in 2020, primarily due to competition in the web-search business, as reported by Bloomberg.

 

One notable point of contention was Google’s insistence on the use of its search engine as the default on Microsoft’s Surface Duo smartphone in exchange for licensing the Android operating system. Google declined Microsoft’s request to feature its own search engine, Bing, instead.

 

Tinter also disclosed that Google prevented Microsoft from informing users about how to change their default search engine on the device.

 

In explaining the situation, Tinter stated, “Ultimately, for the Duo to be successful, we needed the license from Google. We wanted the search entry points to be Bing. They wanted the search entry points to be Google.”

 

The antitrust lawsuit against Google by the US Justice Department centers on allegations that the tech giant engaged in anti-competitive practices by striking deals with companies like Apple and Verizon to ensure that its search engine is the default option on their devices, as reported by the Associated Press.

 

Google’s role as the default search engine in Apple’s Safari browser dates back to 2002, and the terms of this arrangement have been revised multiple times, as noted by Bloomberg. The contract was last extended in 2021, following the initiation of the Justice Department’s case against Google.

 

Google has countered the allegations by asserting that its dominance in the search engine market is a result of superior quality and performance. The company also highlights that users have the option to switch to other search engines with just a few clicks.

 

The Google antitrust case represents one of the most significant legal challenges undertaken by the US Justice Department since its historic pursuit of Microsoft’s monopoly over the Windows operating system nearly 25 years ago. The case was initially filed during the Trump Administration in 2020, and the trial commenced on September 12 at the US District Court in Washington DC.
