28 CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
I. INTRODUCTION
1. 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 Internet’s 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 Google’s
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
way to use its Android mobile operating system (“Android OS”) to maintain and expand its
monopoly in both of these U.S. markets.
3. Having recognized that personal computing was moving away from the desktop and
that Internet searches increasingly are being done on smartphones and tablets, Google purchased
the Android OS in 2005. By giving away the Android OS itself for free, Google rapidly built an
enormous user base in the United States.
4. But Android itself only enables the basic functionality of a handheld device; what
brings mobile phones and tablets to life are applications. Some of the most popular handheld-
device applications, including the YouTube video app and Google Play (which enables shopping in
Google’s app store) also are Google properties. As Google well knows, customers expect to see
these apps on their Android devices. So Google, by way of secret Mobile Application Distribution
Agreements (“MADA”), allows Android OS device manufacturers to pre-load a suite of Google
apps including the YouTube app and Google Play client, among others, onto a phone or tablet – but
only if the manufacturer pre-loads onto prime screen real estate all of the apps in the suite, whether
the manufacturer wants them or not. Because consumers want access to Google’s products, and
due to Google’s power in the U.S. market for general handheld search, Google has unrivaled
market power over smartphone and tablet manufacturers.

28 CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
5. Among the suite of apps covered by Google’s MADAs is the Google Phone-top
Search app – a widget for conducting web searches via Google’s 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
default search engine status because it results in more paid search-related advertisements, which
are the source of most of its billions and billions of dollars in annual profits.
6. If device manufacturers bound by Google’s distribution agreements were free to
choose a default search engine other than Google, the quality of Internet search overall would
improve because search engines become more effective as they process more and more search
queries. With default search engine status providing access to more searches, Google’s
competitors in search would become more effective as they processed more queries, and this
competition would push Google to improve as well. Also, if Google’s rivals were allowed to
compete for default status, they would do so in part by offering to pay device manufacturers for
that status on various Android smartphones and tablets. Such payments to device manufacturers,
maximized by way of competitive bidding, would lower the bottom-line cost associated with
production of the covered devices, which in turn would lead to lower consumer prices for
smartphones and tablets.
7. Google’s MADAs are contracts in restraint of trade that are designed to maintain
and extend its monopolies in general search and handheld general search. Simply put, there is no
lawful, pro-competitive reason for Google to condition licenses to pre-load popular Google apps on
making its search product the default search engine on covered devices. By insisting on these
contracts with device manufacturers, to the detriment of competition and consumers, Google has

violated the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, California’s Cartwright Act, and California’s 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
foreclosed by these contracts.
II. JURISDICTION
8. 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.
§ 1367(a).
9. This Court has personal jurisdiction over the defendant by way of the fact that the
defendant is licensed to do business in the state of California and in fact conducts business in this
state.
10. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b), inasmuch as
unlawful practices are alleged to have been committed in this federal judicial district and the
defendant resides and regularly conducts business in this district.
11. Assignment to the San Jose division of this Court is appropriate because the
defendant has its headquarters in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, which is located
in this division of the Northern District of California. Also, it is believed and therefore alleged that
many members of the proposed class reside or do business in the San Jose division of the Northern
District of California.
III. PARTIES
12. Plaintiff Gary Feitelson is the owner of an HTC EVO 3D mobile phone purchased
in or about July 2011 in Louisville, Kentucky. 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-HTC
MADA, described herein. Mr. Feitelson uses his phone, inter alia, to perform Internet general
searches. But for the restraints alleged herein, Mr. Feitelson’s phone would have cost less and had

better search capabilities as the result of competition that would have ensued but for Google’s
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. McKee’s phone would have
cost less and had better search capabilities as the result of competition that would have ensued but
for Google’s unlawful restraints.
14. Defendant Google is a Delaware corporation with its headquarters and principal
place of business in Mountain View, California. Google is America’s leader in general Internet
search conducted on all devices, and in handheld general search. It also is the owner of the
Android OS and popular and exclusive mobile and tablet applications including YouTube, Google
Maps, and Gmail. Additionally, Google is the owner of the Google Play (formerly Android
Market) client, by which owners of Android devices bearing it are enabled to buy applications,
music, movies, and books from the Google Play store. Google was number 55 on last year’s U.S.
Fortune 500, with 2013 revenues of $55.2 billion and profits of $10.737 billion.
IV. RELEVANT FACTS
15. The plaintiffs, like many millions of Americans, are consumers of Android OS
devices who have been affected adversely by Google’s unlawful practices in commerce.
A. Google is a monopolist in general search.
16. General Internet searches occur, inter alia, when a user goes to a search engine
website – Google.com, for example – and executes a query there, or when he enters a query into
his browser’s search bar and a pre-designated search engine operating in the background executes
it. For example, the user might query “name of the 32nd president of the United States.” Google is
a monopolist in the U.S. market for general search conducted on all devices, including laptops,
desktops, mobile phones, and tablets. According to StatCounter, Google’s search engine share

over all these devices was at 81.87% as of March 2014.
(http://gs.statcounter.com/#desktop+mobile+tablet-search_engine-US-monthly-201401-201403
(last accessed April 16, 2014).) Google’s 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, Google’s competitor Bing’s 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.)
17. By any standard, Google’s 81.87%+ share of the U.S. handheld general search
market is a monopoly.
B. Google is a monopolist in handheld general search.
18. Google also is a monopolist in U.S. market for handheld general search.
19. Recognizing that Internet search was migrating from desktops to mobile devices,
Google purchased the Android OS in August 2005. Handheld device manufacturers including

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
Galaxy and HTC Flyer tablet lines.
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., Android’s 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
of Google’s dominance in mobile and tablet devices. That dominance is based in its monopoly in
handheld general search.
21. Handheld general search occurs when a smartphone or tablet user performs an
Internet search query on his or her device. If, for example, the user wants to know where the
nearest coffee shop is located, she might type her query into the search bar of her mobile browser.
The browser then will hand off the request to a pre-set search engine, such as the Google search
engine, that will operate behind the scenes to execute her request. Or she might use a dedicated
search app, for example a Google-branded app or widget that was pre-loaded onto her phone, and
enter her search term there. Not surprisingly, when she does so with a Google widget, the search is
processed through the Google search engine. Or she might go to https://www.google.com via her
browser and run the search from there – which is not as likely as the other two methods described,
given the extra step involved to navigate to the Google website before entering the desired query.
But in that event, too, a search engine – Google’s – will execute the search. Whichever of these
methods the phone or tablet user employs, search results will be returned to her.
22. Google is the dominant mobile and tablet search engine in the United States. As of
March 2014, StatCounter reports that Google’s U.S. handheld general search engine share – the
share of mobile phone and tablet searches run through Google’s search engine – was at an
astounding 86.82%. Its competitor Yahoo!’s share was at a distant 7.64%, and its competitor

Bing’s share was at an even more distant 5.16%. (http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile+tablet-
search_engine-US-monthly-201401-201403-bar (last accessed April 16, 2014).)
23. The handheld general search market is a submarket of the Internet general search
market. The former captures Internet general searches performed on portable, wireless, handheld
smartphones and tablets. The latter captures Internet general searches performed not only on these
handheld devices, but on desktop and laptop computers, too. By any standard, Google’s 86.88%
share of the U.S. handheld general search market is a monopoly.
C. 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
the vast majority of mobile and tablet searches will be run by its search engine. Cornering the
market on handheld-device searches translates to colossal profits.
25. Google makes its money by selling advertising. The primary component of its
advertising profits is search advertising. Search advertising, which is a function of Google’s
AdWords platform, serves paid ads in conjunction with so-called organic or natural search results.

Thus, if an individual conducts a search for “flat screen tv” that is run by Google’s 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. Search advertising results in billions of dollars of revenue to Google annually. (See
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/01/court-orders-google-to-pay-1-36-of-adwords-revenue-
for-infringing-patents/ (estimating that Google’s U.S. AdWords revenue, which is based on ads
generated by search queries, “is somewhere in the range of $15 billion to $18 billion annually”)
(last accessed April 30, 2014).) Unfortunately, Google has not competed simply on the basis of a
better search engine, but also various unlawful tactics designed to favor its interests. These tactics
have caught the attention of Congress and regulators at home and abroad.
1. Google has been the subject of, and has settled, various antitrust investigations.
27. In September 2011, the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy
and Consumer Rights held a hearing on “The Power of Google: Serving Consumers or Threatening
Competition?,” at which Google’s Executive Chairman, Eric Schmidt, appeared and answered
questions related to Google’s status as a monopolist; charges that it rigged search results to favor
its own interests; and charges that it scraped content from various websites and served it up in non-
organic search results, among others. (See generally Power of Google Transcript of Sept. 21, 2011
Hearing (available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-112shrg71471/pdf/CHRG-
112shrg71471.pdf (last accessed March 20, 2014)).)
28. Following this hearing, The New York Times reported in an October 12, 2012, article
entitled “Drafting Antitrust Case, F.T.C. Raises Pressure on Google,” that
[t]he Federal Trade Commission is raising the ante in its antitrust confrontation with Google with the commission staff preparing a recommendation that the government sue the search giant.
The government’s escalating pursuit of Google is the most far-reaching antitrust investigation of a corporation since the landmark

federal case against Microsoft in the late 1990s. The agency’s central focus is whether Google manipulates search results to favor its own products, and makes it harder for competitors and their products to appear prominently on a results page….
29. Google ultimately reached a settlement with the U.S. government to head off an
antitrust lawsuit. (See, e.g., “Google Agrees to Change Its Business Practices to Resolve FTC
Competition Concerns in the Markets for Devices Like Smart Phones, Games and Tablets, and in
Online Search” (available at http://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2013/01/google-
agrees-change-its-business-practices-resolve-ftc (last accessed March 26, 2014)).) In that
settlement, Google agreed to two terms involving search advertising. According to the Federal
Trade Commission, “Google []agreed to give online advertisers more flexibility to simultaneously
manage ad campaigns on Google’s AdWords platform and on rival ad platforms; and to refrain
from misappropriating online content from so-called “vertical” websites that focus on specific
categories such as shopping or travel for use in its own vertical offerings.” (Id. at 1.)
30. Google also has faced intense scrutiny from the European Union’s antitrust
authorities for these same sorts of practices. In February 2014, the E.U. and Google announced
that they had reached a settlement in avoidance of litigation. By way of the settlement, Google has
agreed to display rival search ads next to its own specialized search ads. It also has agreed to allow
website owners the right to opt out of display of their content crawled by Google’s search engine
agents on covered web pages. And Google has agreed to cease making it difficult or impossible for
advertisers to port search advertising campaigns, i.e., AdWords campaigns, to rival search engines.
(See Commitments in Case COMP/C-3/39.740, dated January 31, 2014, at 2-15 (available at
http://services.google.com/fh/files/blogs/google_commitments_full_2014.pdf (last accessed
March 22, 2014).) But the settlement has yet to attain final approval by the E.U. Instead, it is
under heavy fire from various quarters, including the E.U.-affiliated European Consumer
Organisation, for not going far enough, and for leaving Google’s anti-competitive practices
unchecked. (See, e.g., http://www.eubusiness.com/Members/BEUC/google-antitrust (last accessed
April 4, 2014).)

2. Google’s restrains competition through the use of its Mobile Application Distribution Agreements.
31. A manufacturer of an Android OS smartphone or tablet must obtain a license from
Google to pre-load popular Google apps including YouTube, the Google Play client, Maps,
Calendar, Gmail, Talk, among others.
32. Google uses its popular apps to coerce manufacturers into making it the default
search engine provider on handheld devices. This unlawful tactic is currently under investigation
by European Union authorities, following the lodging of a complaint by FairSearch.org, of which
Microsoft, Expedia, tripadvisor, Oracle, and others are members. (See, e.g., “In Europe, New

is also examining whether Google is abusing its market share for mobile phones running its

33. Recently revealed copies of Google’s contracts with device manufacturers provide
the details of Google’s abusive market manipulation. If a smartphone or tablet manufacturer such
as Samsung or HTC wishes, for example, to pre-load Google’s popular and exclusive YouTube app
on a given Android OS phone or tablet, or if it wishes to install Google’s popular and exclusive
Google Play client on that device, then Google requires that the manufacturer must agree to make
Google the default search engine on the device. The manufacturer also must agree to pre-load all
of a suite of Google applications onto prime screen real estate. Further, the manufacturer must
agree to make Google location services the default location services provider on the phone.
Additionally, the manufacturer must agree that it will pass a so-called Android Compatibility Test
as to that device, which Google administers and controls in its sole discretion.1 (Ex. A (MADA

writing.”), 2.7 (“The license to distribute Google Applications in Section 2.1 is contingent upon the
Device becoming an Android Compatible Device.”), 3.4 (providing that “Google Phone-top Search
must be set as the default search provider for all search access points on the Device providing for
the prime placement of Google Applications” (emphasis added) and also providing for the prime

34. To summarize, the Google MADA requires that:
“Devices may only be distributed if all Google Applications [listed elsewhere in the agreement] . . . are pre-installed on the Device . . . .” (Exs. A and B, ¶ 2.1.)
The device manufacturer must “preload all Google Applications approved in the applicable Territory . . . on each [covered] device.” (Exs. A and B, ¶ 3.4(1).)
The device manufacturer must place “Google’s Phone-top Search and the Android Market [Google Play] Client icon . . . at least on the panel immediately adjacent to the Default Home Screen,” with “all other Google Applications . . . no more than one level below the Phone Top.” (Exs. A and B, ¶ 3.4(2)-(3).)
NEC Casio MobileComm, NEC Corp., Phillips Electronics Hong Kong, Sony, Acer, ASUSTek Computer, Dell, TCT Mobile, Yulong Computer Telecomm. Scientific, ZTE Corp., and Kyocera. 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.)
2 In both the Google-Samsung and Google-HTC MADAs, “Google Applications” is defined as “the Google applications listed below . . . ”: “Set-up Wizard, Google Phone-top Search, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, YouTube, Google Maps for Mobile, Google Street View, Contact Sync, Android Market Client (not products downloaded from Android Market), Google Voice Search, and Network Location Provider.” (Ex. A, ¶ 1.12; Ex. B, ¶ 1.11.)

The device manufacturer must set “Google Phone-top Search . . . as the default search provider for all Web search access points on the Device.” (Exs. A and B, ¶ 3.4(4).)
Google’s Network Location Provider service must be pre-loaded and set as the “default network-based location provider on all Android Compatible Devices.” (Exs. A and B, ¶ 3.8(c).)
35. 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
286 and 2775, respectively, though both documents indicate in their footers that they are
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY.”
36. Default search engine status is exceedingly important to Google. If a Google search
app or widget is placed prominently on a handheld device, as in the following example of the
Samsung Galaxy S III mobile phone home screen bearing the Google Phone-top Search bar across
its middle, Google knows that phone and tablet owners will use it.

Also, most phone and tablet users are unaware of the interaction between their browser – which on
this Samsung device would be accessed by pushing the “Internet” icon – and the search engine
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
via a search engine such as Google.
37. If Google is set as the default search engine provider, so much the better to sustain
and grow Google’s monopoly position and power in handheld general search. As Google’s Vice-
President of Product Management & Marketing put it:
So more users more information, more information more users, more advertisers more users, it’s a beautiful thing, lather, rinse, repeat, that’s what I do for a living. So that’s what someone alluded to the engine that can’t be stopped.3
38. By way of Google’s coercive and exclusionary practice with Android OS device
manufacturers such as Samsung and HTC, Google restrains and quashes competition for default
search engine status before it even can begin. There is no lawful reason to compel manufacturers
wishing to pre-load the YouTube app onto a device, or to enable their customers to access the
Google Play store and its 1.2 million apps, to make Google the default search engine on that device
as well. Instead, Google’s practice is a pure power play designed to maintain and extend its
monopoly in handheld general search.
D. Google’s practices with respect to its Android apps and search product restrain and injure competition in markets where already there are high barriers to entry.
39. Consider the impact on a device manufacturer seeking to substitute an offering that
competes with a Google app. For example, a phone manufacturer might conclude that some non-
Google service is preferable to one of the listed Google Applications – perhaps faster, easier to use,
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. Google’s MADA
restrictions disallow any such configuration if the phone is to include any of the listed Google apps.
40. The MADA provisions help Google whenever a phone manufacturer sees no
substitute to even one of Google’s apps. Manufacturers may perceive that Bing Search,
DuckDuckGo, Yahoo! Search, and others are reasonable substitutes to Google Search.
Manufacturers also may perceive that Bing Maps, MapQuest, Yahoo! Maps, and others are
reasonable substitutes to Google Maps. But it is not clear what other app store besides Google Play
that a manufacturer could preinstall onto a smartphone in order to offer a comprehensive set of
apps. Furthermore, a manufacturer would struggle to offer a phone without a pre-installed
YouTube app. Without the expected pre-loaded app allowing easy access to the short-format
entertainment videos that are YouTube’s specialty, a phone would be unattractive to many
consumers, thus undermining carriers’ efforts to sell data plans, and putting the phone at
heightened risk of commercial failure. Needing Google Play and YouTube, a manufacturer must
then accept Google Search, Maps, Network Location Provider, and more – even if the
manufacturer prefers a competitor’s offering or prefers a payment for installing some alternative
exclusively.
41. In principle, the MADA allows a phone manufacturer to install certain third-party
applications in addition to the listed Google Applications. For example, the phone manufacturer
could install other search, maps, or email apps in addition to those offered by Google. But multiple
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
demands prominent placements for its search app and app store. These factors sharply limit users’
attention to other preloaded apps, reducing competitors’ willingness to pay for pre-installation.

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 Google’s tie.
42. These MADA restrictions suppress competition. Thanks to the MADA, alternative
vendors of search, maps, location, email, and other apps cannot outcompete Google on the merits;
even if a competitor offers an app that’s better than Google’s offering, the carrier is obliged to
install Google’s app also, and Google can readily amend the MADA to require making its app the
default in the corresponding category (for those apps that don’t 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
can offer only inferior placement adjacent to Google, with Google left as the default in key
sectors – preventing competitors from achieving scale or outbidding Google for prominent or
default placement on a given device.
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. Google’s practices with respect to its MADAs restrain and hurt competition because
they constitute yet one more way by which Google forecloses its rivals in handheld general search
from competing. The results are especially pernicious given that already there are high barriers to
entry in the markets for general search.
45. Any search engine becomes better over time as more and more search inquiries are
run through it. Searches executed via Google’s search engine provide Google with data that
Google utilizes to improve its search algorithm. For example, if a user’s quest for specific
information is not satisfied by clicking on prominent links in results returned by the search engine,
she will click on a lower-ranked link or enter new search terms, and this data allows the algorithm
powering the search engine to adapt, or to be modified, to produce better results. This, in turn,
enhances Google’s appeal to consumers, and the cycle repeats itself. Then, because Google
attracts more users with these ever-improving search results, Google attracts yet more ad dollars
because advertisers will follow the most consumers. And with more advertising dollars, Google

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. Prüfer, “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
Management and Marketing, has spoken.
46. The high barrier to entry posed by Google’s “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
Yahoo! Inc.”:
The search and paid search advertising industry is characterized by an unusual relationship between scale and competitive performance. The transaction will enhance Microsoft’s competitive performance because it will have access to a larger number of queries, which
4 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. Google’s 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/google-search-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:
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 don’t index every one of those trillion pages … [b]ut we’re 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 it’d be a map about 50,000 times as big as the U.S., with 50,000 roads and intersections.”

should accelerate the automated learning of Microsoft’s search and paid search algorithms and enhance Microsoft’s ability to serve more relevant search results and paid search listings, particularly with respect to rare or ‘tail’ queries. The increased queries received by the combination operation will further provide Microsoft with a much larger pool of data than it currently has or is likely to obtain without this transaction. The larger data pool may enable more effective testing and thus more rapid innovation of potential new search-related products, changes in the presentation of search results and paid search listings, other changes in the user interface, and changes in the search or paid search algorithms. This enhanced performance, if realized, should exert correspondingly greater competitive pressure in the marketplace.
Yet even after consummation of the Microsoft-Yahoo! deal referenced in this statement by the
Department of Justice, in which Microsoft’s Bing began to power Yahoo! searches, Bing has
struggled mightily. As The Washington Post reported recently, Microsoft’s “online services
division, which oversees search engine Bing, reported a loss of $1.3 billion in 2013 – less than the
previous year but still in the red.” (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-
switch/wp/2014/02/05/investors-want-microsofts-new-ceo-to-kill-xbox-bing-and-surface/ (last
accessed April 14, 2014.) This has brought pressure from investors to dump Bing altogether.
47. If Microsoft were to exit the market, then there is little hope for any meaningful
competition in the markets for general search and handheld general search. As Steve Pociask and
Joseph P. Fuhr, Jr. of the American Consumer Institute put it in their July 24, 2012 paper entitled
“The Search for Market Dominance”:
Most troubling, however, are recent events suggesting that rivalry in the search engine and search advertising markets has waned altogether. Not only are many of the early search engine rivals gone, but most of the remaining competitors are using Google’s search capability to some extent or through revenue-sharing deals. For example, for years now, AOL has been using Google’s search engine and, consequently, Google’s advertising program. Similarly, Ask.com downsized its staff several years ago and signed a five-year multi-billion dollar deal to use Google’s advertising/sponsored links program. More recently, both AOL and Ask.com have reaffirmed their dependence on Google. As recently as last October, there are reports that Google was looking to finance a deal for others to buyout Yahoo. Bing continues to sustain billions of dollars in losses and single-digit market share worldwide. Google has locked into exclusive deals with various providers, making it the default search engine on many online web devices. By all indications, competitors are waning, rivals are using Google’s own services, and not even Microsoft can make a profitable dent into the market. It appears that

the market has tipped to Google, which funnels much of the web’s traffic to and from its websites and partner websites.
(Id. at 8-9 (footnotes omitted) (available at
http://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/frequently-requested-records/1311google-2013-
00857.pdf) (last accessed April 15, 2014).)
48. Google itself has acknowledged that scale is critical to the general search market
and constitutes a grave barrier to entry. For example, Google’s executive chairman, Eric Schmidt,
was quoted in an April 13, 2003 New York Times article entitled “In Searching the Web, Google
Finds Riches” as stating: “Managing search at our scale is a very serious barrier to entry.” And
this was over 10 years ago, well before Google attained its present immense size and scale.
Mr. Schmidt has since tried to walk back that statement, but it remains as objectively true today as
it was then – even more so.
49. In fact, only a few years ago, Mr. Schmidt again acknowledged the immense power
and marketplace effectiveness of Google’s scale during an interview for an October 9, 2009.
BloombergBusinessweek article entitled “How Google Plans To Stay Ahead in Search.” In
response to the question, “What is Google’s biggest strength in search?” Mr. Schmidt responded:
“We just have so much scale in terms of the data we can bring to bear.”
50. This is consistent with Mr. Schmidt’s remarks expressed earlier in 2009, in response
to a question during a FOX Business television interview about whether Microsoft’s investment of
some $80-100 million into promotion for its competitive search engine, Bing, would compel a
response from Google. As Mr. Schmidt put it, “From Bing’s perspective they have a bunch of new
ideas and there are some things that are missing. We think search is about comprehensiveness,
freshness, scale, and size for what we do. It’s difficult for them to copy that.”
(http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/schmidt-bing-has-not-changed-what-google-is-doing/19492
(emphasis added) (last visited March 20, 2014).) When not even a company as successful and
wealthy as Microsoft gives Google competitive pause due to Google’s scale and the barriers to
entry that it poses, then realistically, no company can hope to compete with Google in the fast-

growing market for phone and tablet general search, especially when Google resorts to unlawful
behavior to maintain and expand its monopoly power.
51. Indeed, as Reuters reported on November 21, 2012, in an article entitled “Google
competitor DuckDuckGo says it’s 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 phone’s standard search mechanism.” (Id.) “DuckDuckGo can
be added as an app to a mobile device, which is less convenient than being the default search
engine, said Weinberg.” But Google’s anti-competitive tactics did not stop there. Instead, Google,
having purchased a company which owned the domain name “duck.com,” began redirecting traffic
from that domain name to itself after DuckDuckGo inquired about purchasing it. (Id.) This,
according to Mr. Weinberg, created confusion among consumers. (Id.) Mr. Weinberg also
complained of the difficulty of making DuckDuckGo the default search provider in Google’s
Chrome web browser. (Id.) The article concluded by reporting that “[a] former antitrust enforcer,
who asked not to be named, said the actions that Weinberg complained about were unexciting
taken individually but, as a cluster, could be worrisome. ‘It’s relevant. It’s what antitrust enforcers
call monopoly soup,’ said the enforcer.” (Id.)
52. When Bing and other search engines such as DuckDuckGo are excluded from
competition by way of the practices described in this complaint, not only is actual competition
restrained and harmed by way of the exclusion itself, but even the prospect of real competition is
restrained and diminished. When Google’s search product grows in effectiveness, fueled by search
volumes strongly enhanced as a result of Google’s anti-competitive practices, competitors fall yet
further behind both in terms of effectiveness but also in terms of reputation in the marketplace.
53. Competition is further restrained and harmed by Google’s unlawful contracts
because rivals to Google’s applications, such as AOL’s MapQuest, an alternative to Google Maps,
cannot compete for pre-load exclusivity on affected Android OS mobile devices. Google’s like

applications must be pre-loaded pursuant to terms of its MADAs, in prime positions on the mobile
phone’s or tablet’s screens.
54. Not only is competition restrained and harmed by Google’s 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. Google conceals its MADA restrictions.
55. The MADA restrictions have been unknown to the public and Google has
effectively kept them hidden. The MADA agreements are labeled “highly confidential attorneys
eyes only.” Further, Google has misleadingly implied that it has no such restrictions.
56. Google’s public statements indicate few to no significant restrictions on use of the
Android operating system or Google’s apps for Android – leading reasonable observers and even
industry experts to conclude, mistakenly, that Google allows its apps to be installed in any
combination that manufacturers prefer.
57. For example, on the “Welcome to the Android Open Source Project!” page, the first
sentence touts that “Android is an open source software stack . . . .” (https://source.android.com/
(last accessed April 29, 2014).) Nothing on that page indicates that the Android platform, or
Google’s apps for Android, suffers any restriction or limitation on the flexibility standard for open
source software.
58. Moreover, senior Google executives have emphasized the importance of Google’s
openness in mobile. Former Google Senior Vice President Jonathan Rosenberg offered a 4300-
word analysis of the benefits of openness for Google generally and in mobile in particular. For
example, Mr. Rosenberg argued: “In an open system, a competitive advantage doesn’t derive from
locking in customers, but rather from understanding the fast-moving system better than anyone else
and using that knowledge to generate better, more innovative products.”

28 CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
(http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/meaning-of-open.html (last accessed April 29, 2014).)
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. Rosenberg’s claim of
“allow[ing] innovation at all levels” and claimed “freedom of choice for consumers.”
59. Additionally, Andy Rubin, then Senior Vice President of Mobile at Google, in an
April 2011 blog post claimed that “[D]evice makers are free to modify Android to customize any
range of features for Android devices.” (http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/04/i-think-
im-having-gene-amdahl-moment.html (last accessed April 30, 2014).) He continued: “If someone
wishes to market a device as Android-compatible or include Google applications on the device, we
do require the device to conform with some basic compatibility requirements. (After all, it would
not be realistic to expect Google applications – or any applications for that matter – to operate
flawlessly across incompatible devices).” (Id.) Mr. Rubin’s post does not explicitly indicate that
the referenced “basic compatibility requirements” are the only requirements Google imposes, but
that is the natural interpretation. Reading Mr. Rubin’s remarks, particularly in light of his
introduction that Android is “an open platform,” most readers would conclude that there are no
significant restrictions on app installation or search defaults.
60. But that is not all. Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, following the
Senate’s September 2011 “Power of Google” hearing, responded to written question 8.a put to him
by Sen. Herbert Kohl as follows:
Has Google demanded that smartphone manufacturers make Google the default search engine as a condition of using the Android operating system?
Mr. Schmidt:
Google does not demand that smartphone manufacturers make Google the default search engine as a condition of using the Android operating system. . . .

28 CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
One of the greatest benefits of Android is that it fosters competition at every level of the mobile market—including among application developers. Google respects the freedom of manufacturers to choose which applications should be pre-loaded on Android devices. Google does not condition access to or use of Android on pre-installation of any Google applications or on making Google the default search engine. . . .
Manufacturers can choose to pre-install Google applications on Android devices, but they can also choose to pre-install competing search applications like Yahoo! and Microsoft’s Bing. Many Android devices have pre-installed the Microsoft Bing and Yahoo! search applications. No matter which applications come pre-installed, the user can easily download Yahoo!, Microsoft’s Bing, and Google applications for free from the Android Market.
(Power of Google Transcript of Sept. 21, 2011 Hearing at 147-48 (available at
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-112shrg71471/pdf/CHRG-112shrg71471.pdf (last accessed
March 20, 2014)).) Mr. Schmidt’s responses to questions from Sen. Mike Lee (question 15.b),
from Sen. Al Franken (question 7), and from Sen. Richard Blumenthal (question 7) were similar
and, in sections, identical, and were highly misleading given the terms of Google’s MADAs. (Id.
at 165-66, 125-26, and 110.)
F. Google further forecloses competition in the market by entering into exclusive contracts with Apple.
61. As part of its strategy to maintain and extend its monopoly in handheld general
search, Google also has entered into exclusionary agreements with the largest non-Android phone
manufacturer, Apple Inc. (“Apple”).
62. Google has paid Apple hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions of dollars over
the years, to act as the default search engine on Apple iPhones, iPads, and iPods. It is estimated
that it will pay Apple over a billion dollars in 2014 to retain this status. (See, e.g.,
http://searchengineland.com/financial-analyst-affirms-googles-1-billion-in-default-search-
payments-to-apple-148255 (last accessed April 4, 2014).) This arrangement forecloses competing
search engine companies from the best opportunity to break Google’s stranglehold on the handheld
general search market.
63. No pro-competition justification exists for the exclusion of rival search engines
from acting as the default search engine on Apple mobile devices.

28 CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
G. Google’s unlawful practices harm consumers.
64. Consumers are harmed by Google’s practices in aid of maintaining and advancing
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 Google’s 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
tablets than they would but for Google’s unlawful behavior.
65. Google’s mandatory MADA terms that tie Google search to its other products,
without business necessity or justification, in fact kill competition and consumer choice. As
Susan A. Creighton, counsel for Google and former Director of the Bureau of Competition at the
Federal Trade Commission, put it at the Power of Google hearing: “And this really gets to the
question of, are there impediments to the ability of consumers to choose. So if someone found, for
example, that as Microsoft did there [with respect to Netscape], that Microsoft was intimidating
OEMs from being able to offer rival product so that it never got to market, then I would want to
have relief that went to those provisions that were preventing choice.” (Power of Google
Transcript of Sept. 21, 2011 Hearing at 46-47 (available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-
112shrg71471/pdf/CHRG-112shrg71471.pdf (last accessed March 20, 2014)).5)
66. This lawsuit aims to achieve the sort of relief to which Google’s counsel referred
and to restore to consumers the price premium they paid for their affected mobile phones and
tablets.
5 Google’s counsel also remarked that competition among search engines for default status with
Apple was a good thing – even as Google’s 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 who’s a stand-in for consumers, because Apple is not going to take the worst search engine.”).)

28 CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
V. INTERSTATE TRADE AND COMMERCE
67. The activities of the defendant as alleged in this complaint were within the flow of,
and substantially affected, interstate commerce.
VI. RELEVANT MARKETS
68. Where it is necessary that plaintiffs demonstrate the existence 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.
69. First, Google has acknowledged the existence of a “general search” category (see
id. at 72 and 102 (referring to Microsoft’s Bing search engine in a written response posed by a U.S.
Senator in the “Power of Google” proceedings, Google’s counsel remarked: “Here, by
comparison, Google has no ability to exclude a general search engine rival such as Microsoft from
the market.”; and its executive chairman stated in response to another written question: “As I
acknowledged during the Committee hearing, Google is ‘in the area’ of 65% of queries [for
desktop search] in the U.S., if you look only at Google’s general search competitors, such as
Microsoft’s Bing and Yahoo!”) (emphases added).)
70. Though Google today seems intent on denying the existence of this obvious
market – even as it (a) pays Apple hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars for default search
engine status on the iPhone and (b) insists on unlawful tying arrangements with Android OS
manufacturers to maintain and expand its dominance of it in smartphones and tablets – Google’s
executive chairman was correct when in September 2010 he remarked in a Wall Street Journal
video interview that there is in fact a market for general search. Whatever Google’s current efforts
to dilute the discreteness of this market with references to specialized searches run through
Facebook, for example, or Yelp, its executive chairman himself rightly waved away such efforts
from others only a short while ago. As AFP reported in a September 25, 2010, article entitled
“Google chief sees Bing as main threat”:

28 CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
Google chief executive Eric Schmidt on Friday said that Microsoft’s Bing search engine was the company's main threat, not Facebook or Apple.
“While it’s 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.
He described Apple as a well-respected competitor and Facebook as a “company of consequence doing an excellent job in social networking,” but said that Microsoft’s latest-generation search engine was Google's main competition.
“We consider neither to be a competitive threat,” Schmidt said, referring to Facebook and Apple. “Absolutely, our competitor is Bing. Bing is a well-run, highly competitive search engine.”
(http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gJL1jBNwMhcjiDZl-
P1EVe8Lalpw?hl=en (last accessed March 22, 2014 (emphasis added).)
71. Second, a relevant submarket, in addition to, or as an alternative to, the first relevant
market, is the United States market for handheld general search. Not only do industry analysts
consider handheld general search to be a distinct market, but so does Google in its pitches to
advertisers. (See, e.g., http://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/mobile-search-ppt.pdf (PowerPoint
presentation to advertisers based on Google-Nielsen survey and study).)
72. Substantial barriers to entry to the overall general search market and the handheld
general search market exist because of Google’s monopolization of those markets, including by
means of the unlawful conduct alleged in this complaint.
VII. CLASS ALLEGATIONS
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
injunctive relief based on violations of the federal Sherman and Clayton antitrust acts:
All U.S. purchasers of any Android OS mobile telephone or tablet as to which Google and the manufacturer of such device has entered into a contract or contracts, including the so-called Mobile Application Distribution Agreement, by which Google has conditioned the right to pre-load any application from a suite of Google applications, including the YouTube app or the Google Play client, on the manufacturer’s mandatory acceptance and installation of Google search, or so-called Google Phone-top Search, as the default search engine on that device.

Excluded from this proposed class is the defendant; defendant’s affiliates and subsidiaries;
defendant’s 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 California’s Cartwright Act and Unfair
Competition Law:
All U.S. purchasers of any Android OS mobile telephone or tablet as to which Google and the manufacturer of such device has entered into a contract or contracts, including the so-called Mobile Application Distribution Agreement, by which Google has conditioned the right to pre-load any application from a suite of Google applications, including the YouTube app or the Google Play client, on the manufacturer’s mandatory acceptance and installation of Google search, or so-called Google Phone-top Search, as the default search engine on that device.
Excluded from this proposed class is the defendant; defendant’s affiliates and subsidiaries;
defendant’s 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.
76. Upon information and belief, the unlawful conduct alleged in this complaint,
including preparation of, imposition of the terms of, and entry into, the Google MADAs, was
effected, implemented, adopted, and ratified in the state of California, where Google maintains its
U.S. headquarters. Furthermore a substantial part of the anti-competitive conduct took place in
California. For these reasons, plaintiffs allege that they and the nationwide class proposed in the
preceding paragraph are entitled to monetary and injunctive relief under California law.
77. In the event that the Court determines that California law does not apply nationwide,
plaintiffs will bring alternative, additional class allegations based on the laws of the various states
permitting such actions under their antitrust and unfair competition laws.
78. Numerosity: The exact number of the members of the proposed classes is
unknown and is not available to the plaintiffs at this time, but upon information and belief, the

classes will consist of many hundreds of thousands of members, or even millions of members, such
that individual joinder in this case is impracticable.
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. Whether Google unlawfully has conditioned the contractual right of any
manufacturer of any Android OS mobile telephone or tablet to pre-load on that device any of
Google’s applications, including the YouTube app or the Google Play client, on the manufacturer’s
mandatory acceptance and installation of Google search, or so-called Google Phone-top Search, as
the default search engine on that device;
b. Whether there are U.S. antitrust markets for general search and handheld
general search;
c. Whether Google has unlawfully monopolized, or attempted to monopolize,
the markets for general search and handheld general search, including with respect to Android OS
mobile telephones and tablets;
d. Whether competition in the general search and handheld general search
markets has been restrained and harmed by Google’s monopolization of those markets;
e. Whether consumers have been harmed, including by way of having paid
more for their affected Android OS mobile telephones and tablets than they would have but for
Google’s unlawful conduct, as a result of Google’s unlawful practices;
f. Whether plaintiffs and members of the proposed classes are entitled to
declaratory or injunctive relief to halt Google’s unlawful practices, and to their attorney fees, costs,
and expenses;
g. Whether plaintiffs and members of the proposed classes are entitled to any
damages or restitution incidental to the declaratory or injunctive relief they seek, and to their
attorney fees, costs, and expenses related to any recovery of such monetary relief; and

h. Whether plaintiffs and members of the proposed classes are otherwise
entitled to any damages or restitution, and to their attorney fees, costs, and expenses related to any
recovery of such monetary relief.
80. Typicality: Plaintiffs’ claims are typical of the claims of the members of the
proposed classes. The factual and legal bases of Google’s 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
those of the proposed classes, and their interests do not conflict with the interests of the proposed
class members they seek to represent.
82. Prevention of inconsistent or varying adjudications: If prosecution of a myriad
of individual actions for the conduct complained of were undertaken, there likely would be
inconsistent or varying results. This would have the effect of establishing incompatible standards
of conduct for the defendant. Certification of plaintiffs’ proposed classes would prevent these
undesirable outcomes.
83. Injunctive and declaratory relief: By way of its conduct described in this
complaint, the defendant has acted on grounds that apply generally to the proposed classes.
Accordingly, final injunctive relief or corresponding declaratory relief is appropriate respecting the
classes as a whole.
84. Predominance and superiority: This proposed class action is appropriate for
certification. Class proceedings on these facts and this law are superior to all other available
methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of this controversy, given that joinder of all
members is impracticable. Even if members of the proposed classes could sustain individual
litigation, that course would not be preferable to a class action because individual litigation would
increase the delay and expense to the parties due to the complex factual and legal controversies
present in this matter. Here, the class action device will present far fewer management difficulties,

VIII. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION VIOLATION OF THE SHERMAN ACT
(15 U.S.C. § 1)
85. Plaintiffs repeat and re-allege every allegation above as if set forth herein in full.
86. 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.
87. Under the MADAs described herein, manufacturers of Android OS smartphones
and tablets wishing to pre-load onto a device any Google application contained in a Google-
designated suite of apps must agree to pre-load all Google applications from that suite onto that
device. This suite of apps includes not only the YouTube app and Google Play client, among
others, but Google’s Phone-top Search, i.e., Google’s 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
because, by definition, there can be only one default search engine.
88. Google’s MADAs are contracts in restraint of trade. Google’s conduct affects and
forecloses a substantial amount of interstate commerce.
89. Plaintiffs and the federal law class have been harmed by Google’s conduct, both in
terms of the denial of choice and other injuries to competition and innovation, but also in terms of
the supra-competitive prices they paid for their smartphones and tablets due to the inability of
Google’s rivals to compete for default search engine status or exclusive application pre-loading,
including by way of paying device manufacturers fees for such status. Had Google’s rivals been
able to compete for such status on a given device, including by way of making payments to device

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 Google’s unlawful conduct. For these
reasons, Google’s 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
Google from persisting in its unlawful behavior to their detriment.
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION VIOLATION OF THE SHERMAN ACT - MONOPOLIZATION
(15 U.S.C. § 2)
91. Plaintiffs repeat and re-allege every allegation above as if set forth herein in full.
92. Plaintiffs bring this claim on their own behalf and on behalf of each member of the
proposed nationwide federal law class described above.
93. The relevant markets are the U.S. general search market and the handheld general
search market.
94. Google possesses monopoly power in the relevant markets.
95. For the reasons stated herein, substantial barriers to entry and expansion exist in the
relevant markets.
96. Google has the power to exclude competition in the relevant markets, and it has
used that power, including by way of its unlawful practices in restraint of trade as described herein,
in order to maintain and expand its monopoly power in both.
97. Google’s conduct as described herein, including its unlawful practices in restraint of
trade, is exclusionary vis-a-vis its rivals in the U.S. markets for handheld general search and
general search.

conduct.
100. Plaintiffs and the federal law class have been injured, and will continue to be
injured, in their businesses and property by way of Google’s conduct, including by way of
overpaying for their affected Android OS smartphones and tablets.
101. 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 to prevent Google from persisting in its
unlawful behavior to their detriment.
THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION VIOLATION OF THE SHERMAN ACT – ATTEMPTED MONOPOLIZATION
(15 U.S.C. § 2)
102. Plaintiffs repeat and re-allege every allegation above as if set forth herein in full.
103. Plaintiffs bring this claim on their own behalf and on behalf of each member of the
proposed nationwide federal law class described above.
104. Google has attempted to monopolize the U.S. market for general search and the U.S.
market for handheld general search.
105. Google’s anti-competitive conduct has created a dangerous probability that it will
achieve monopoly power in the U.S. market for general search and the U.S. market for handheld
general search.
106. Google has a specific intent to achieve monopoly power in the U.S. market for
general search and the U.S. market for handheld general search.

and the U.S. market for handheld general search, and it has used that power, including by way of

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 to prevent Google from persisting in its
unlawful behavior to their detriment.
FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION VIOLATION OF THE CLAYTON ACT
(15 U.S.C. § 14)
113. Plaintiffs repeat and re-allege every allegation above as if set forth herein in full.
114. Plaintiffs bring this claim on their own behalf and on behalf of each member of the
proposed nationwide federal law class described above.
115. Under the MADAs described herein, manufacturers of Android OS smartphones
and tablets wishing to pre-load onto a device any Google application contained in a Google-
designated suite of apps must agree to pre-load all Google applications from that suite onto that
device. This suite of apps includes not only the YouTube app and Google Play client, among

others, but Google’s Phone-top Search, i.e., Google’s 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
because, by definition, there can be only one default search engine.
116. Google’s MADAs are designed to lessen competition substantially and tend to
create, or maintain and expand, Google’s monopoly in the U.S. markets for general search and
handheld general search.
117. Plaintiffs and the federal law class have been harmed by Google’s conduct, both in
terms of the denial of choice and other injuries to competition and innovation, but also in terms of
the supra-competitive prices they paid for their smartphones and tablets due to the inability of
Google’s rivals to compete for default search engine status or exclusive application pre-loading,
including by way of paying device manufacturers fees for such status. Had Google’s rivals been
able to compete for such status on a given device, including by way of making payments to device
manufacturer, 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 Google’s unlawful conduct. For these
reasons, Google’s conduct has been a substantial factor in causing plaintiffs’ and the federal law
class’s harm.
118. 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
Google from persisting in its unlawful behavior to their detriment.

120. Plaintiffs bring this claim on their own behalf and on behalf of each member of the
proposed nationwide California law class described above (hereafter “California law class”).
Alternatively, if the Court does not apply California law on a nationwide basis, plaintiffs bring this
claim on their own behalf and on behalf of each member of a California class, as described above.
121. Under the MADAs described herein, manufacturers of Android OS smartphones
and tablets wishing to pre-load onto a device any Google application contained in a Google-
designated suite of apps must agree to pre-load all Google applications from that suite onto that
device. This suite of apps includes not only the YouTube app and Google Play client, among
others, but Google’s Phone-top Search, i.e., Google’s search engine product, as well. Thus, a

124. 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 California law class are entitled to an injunction to prevent Google from persisting in its

125. Plaintiffs and the California law class also are entitled to treble damages based on
the monetary injuries caused to them by Google’s unlawful conduct, including overpayment for
their mobile phones and tablets.
SIXTH CAUSE OF ACTION VIOLATION OF THE UNFAIR COMPETITION ACT
(CAL. BUS. & PROF. CODE §§ 17200 et seq.)
126. Plaintiffs repeat and re-allege every allegation above as if set forth herein in full.
127. Plaintiffs bring this claim on their own behalf and on behalf of each member of the
proposed nationwide California law class described above. Alternatively, if the Court does not
apply California law on a nationwide basis, plaintiffs bring this claim on their own behalf and on
behalf of each member of a California class, as described above.
128. California’s Unfair Competition Law (“UCL”) defines unfair competition to include
any “unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent” business act or practice. CAL. BUS. & PROF. CODE §§ 17200,
et seq.
129. Google has engaged in, and, upon information and belief, continues to engage in,
acts of unfair competition as defined in California’s UCL. These acts of unfair competition include
its violations of the federal Sherman and Clayton Acts, as well as California’s Cartwright Act, as
alleged herein.
130. Google’s conduct has harmed competition and consumers. Consumers have
overpaid for their affected Android OS mobile phones and tablets due to the inability of Google’s
rivals to compete for default search engine status or exclusive application pre-loading, including by
way of paying device manufacturers fees for such status. Had Google’s rivals been able to
compete for such status on a given device, including by way of making payments to device

131. 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 California law class are entitled to an injunction to prevent Google from persisting in its
unlawful behavior to their detriment.
132. Google also should be required to disgorge ill-gotten profits resulting from its
practices described herein as they relate to handheld general search, and from these disgorged
sums, plaintiffs and the class should be allowed restitution of the money they overpaid for their
mobile phones and tablets.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, plaintiffs respectfully request the following relief:
A. That the Court certify this case as a class action; that it certify the proposed federal
law class, and the proposed California law class, on the nationwide bases requested; and that it
appoint them as class representatives and their counsel to be class counsel;
B. That the Court award them and the proposed classes all appropriate relief, including,
but not limited to, injunctive relief requiring that Google cease the practices effected by its
MADAs as described herein, and declaratory relief, adjudging such practices unlawful, as well as
monetary relief, whether by way of restitution or damages, including treble, multiple, or punitive
restitution or damages where mandated by law or otherwise available, as well as recovery of their
attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses;
C. That the Court grant such additional orders or judgments as may be necessary to
prevent the unlawful practices complained of herein; and
D. That the Court award them and proposed classes such other, favorable relief as may
be available and appropriate under federal or state law, or at equity.
